Notes on strict concordance relations

چکیده
The idea of concordance is central to many MCDM techniques. It leads to comparing alternatives by pairs on the basis of a comparison in terms of importance of the coalitions of attributes favoring each element of the pair. Such a way of comparing alternatives has a definite “ordinal” flavor. It is well-know that it may lead to relations that do not possess any remarkable transitivity properties. This paper shows how to use standard conjoint measurement techniques to characterize such relations. Their main distinctive feature is shown to lie in their very crude way to distinguish various levels of preference differences on each attribute.

A characterization of strict concordance relations⁄
Based on a general framework for conjoint measurement that allows for intransitive preferences, this paper proposes a characterization of “strict concordance relations”. This characterization shows that the originality of such relations lies in their very crude way to distinguish various levels of “preference differences” on each attribute.
متن کاملOn the relationship between strict and non-strict outranking relations
Outranking relations such as produced by the Electre I or II or the Tactic methods are based on a concordance and non-discordance principle that leads to declaring that an alternative is “superior” to another, if the coalition of attributes supporting this proposition is “sufficiently important” (concordance condition) and if there is no attribute that “strongly rejects” it (non-discordance con...

Remark 1 In this text, we always work between 0 and 1 with 1/2 playing the rôle of the midpoint. A simple rescaling allows to work between −1 and 1 with 0 playing the rôle of a midpoint. • A valued relation T is said to be reflexive if T (x, x) = 1, for all x ∈ X. A valued relation T on X such that T (x, y) ∈ {0, 1}, for all x, y ∈ X, is said to be crisp. As is usual, we write x T y instead of ...

Most outranking methods build a preference relation between alternatives evaluated on several attributes using the concordance / non-discordance principle. This principle leads to declaring that an alternative is “superior” to another, if the coalition of attributes supporting this proposition is “sufficiently important” (concordance condition) and if there is no attribute that “strongly reject...
