Abstract (EN)
A classical problem in the field of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is to build a preference relation on a set of multi-attributed alternatives on the basis of preferences expressed on each attribute and ‘inter-attribute’ information such as weights. Based on this preference relation (or, more generally, on various relations obtained following a robustness analysis) a recommendation is elaborated (e. g. exhibiting a subset likely to contain the ‘best’ alternatives).
