Abstract PROMETHEE is an important method for multi-criteria decision-making. Inspired by ensemble methods, this paper proposes an ensemble PROMETHEE II model, in which multiple preference functions are used to reduce the risk of choosing a particularly preference function. One example of competitiveness evaluation of the ports of Circum-Bohai-Sea is included to illustrate the proposed method. ...

This paper introduces the application of the multicriteria method Promethee II to the selection of a portfolio manager. Such application involves four main steps: (1) defining the list of potential actions or solutions to the problem; (2) defining the list of relevant criteria; (3) evaluating the performance of each action based on each criterion; and (4) aggregating these performances with the...

A way to minimize uncertainty and achieve the best possible project performance in construction management can be achieved during procurement process, which involves selecting an optimal contractor according “the most economically advantageous tender.” As resources are limited, decision-makers often pulled apart by conflicting demands coming from various stakeholders. The challenge of addressin...

Eliciting the preferences of a decision maker is a crucial step when applying multi-criteria decision aid methods on real applications. Yet it remains an open research question, especially in the context of the Promethee methods. In this paper, we propose a bi-objective optimization model to tackle the preference elicitation problem. Its main advantage over the widely spread linear programming ...

Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is characterised by poor insight or underestimation of hemiplegia after brain injury. Recent explanations of AHP have used an established 'forward model', which proposes that normal motor awareness involves comparing the predicted and actual sensory consequences of movements. These accounts propose that AHP patients may be able to form representations of their i...
