The aim of this research is to propose an improved multidimensional quality life index, which could replace the current methodology designed by Eurostat and applied national statistical institutes European Union member states. novelty proposed index that it based on a non-compensatory multicriteria decision method (ELECTRE III). All other indices compensatory aggregation methods at some stage i...

We consider the problem of assigning alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories C1,C2, . . . ,Cp . This problem is known as the multi-criteria sorting problem and arises in many situations such as classifying countries into different risk levels based on economical and socio-political criteria, evaluating credit applications of bank customers. We are interested in sortin...

We introduce the principle of robust ordinal regression to group decision. We consider the main multiple criteria decision methods to which robust ordinal regression has been applied, i.e., UTA and GRIP methods, dealing with choice and ranking problems, UTADIS , dealing with sorting (ordinal classification) problems, and ELECTRE , being an outranking method applying robust ordinal regression to...

In this paper, we present (to the best of our knowledge) first outranking method to assign a score each alternative. This is part Electre family, and will call it Electre-Score. contrast Multi-Attribute Value Theory methods, Electre-Score does not construct value function for criterion proceed then aggregation into single value. Instead, makes use relations make comparison with sets reference a...

This note deals with the problem of choosing on the basis of a fuzzy preference relation. In the area of MCDM, such a problem occurs with outranking methods using fuzzy relations such as ELECTRE III. In this note, we study a choice procedure based on the ‘min in favor’. We show that it is the only one to satisfy a system of three independent axioms.

Outranking relations are most often built using a concordance-discordance principle. Such relations are, in general, neither transitive nor complete. This is not to say that the concordance-discordance principle does not impose some "structural" restrictions on these relations. We show why this question may be of some importance for analyzing the various techniques designed to build a recommend...

The purpose of this paper is to present an elementary introduction to the concepts and methods used in decision-aid. After having defined the notions of action, consequence and criterion we show the interest of multicriteria analysis and outline the main methods in that field: aggregation into a unique criterion, aggregation into an outranking relation, interactive approach. We conclude by some...
