Spatial Multicriteria Decision Making

DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...

Multicriteria Optimization and Decision Making

Interval-Based Multicriteria Decision Making

The aim of this paper is to show how non-additive measures and intervals can be combined in order to provide a simple and accurate approach to multi-criteria decision making problems. We construct an interval-based Choquet integral in order to derive preferences over a set of multidimensional alternatives. Preferences are no longer real number comparisons, but interval comparisons, which is not...
