ELECTRE TRI is a method designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. The original method uses limiting profiles. A recently introduced variant uses central profiles. We study the relations between these two variants. We do so by investigating if an ordered partition obtained with one variant can also be obtained by the other variant, after a suitable rede...

In this thesis a method for risk classification in the information security domain is described. Using a set of classification examples, an ELECTRE TRI multi-criteria decision aid model is constructed. This model is capable of classifying organizations in risk classes based on company characteristics and results of technical assessment. The construction process of this model consisted of gather...

Often decisions taken in organizations are made by a group of people, and in order to build a collective decision, the preferences of individuals must be considered. The two most useful approaches to aggregating individual preferences are the aggregation of individual judgments and the aggregation of individual priorities. This paper focuses on the latter approach and proposes a multicriteria g...

Using improvements to the recently published m-polar fuzzy set (mFS) elimination and choice translating reality-I (ELECTRE-I) approach for calculating criteria weights, selection of a Non-Traditional Machining (NTM) process problem from industry is solved in this research. The weights ELECTRE-I method are evaluated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Revised Simos' method. For ELECTRE fami...

This paper presents a new method for multiple criteria ordinal classification (sorting) problems. This type of problem requires the different classes or categories to be pre-defined and ordered, from the best to the worst or from the worst to the best. The actions (not necessarily known a priori) are assigned to the different ordered classes. Several ELECTRE type methods were designed to deal w...
