In this short paper, the Electre Tri-Machine Learning Method, generally used to solve ordinal classification problems, is proposed for solving the Record Linkage problem. Preliminary experimental results show that, using the Electre Tri method, high accuracy can be achieved and more than 99% of the matches and nonmatches were correctly identified by the procedure.

Decision making is a common process in human activities. Every person or organization needs to make decisions besides dealing with uncertainty and vagueness associated with human cognition. The theory of fuzzy logic provides a mathematical base to model the uncertainities. Hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) creates an appropriate method to deal with uncertainty in decision making. Manag...

In the literature on MCDM, many methods have been proposed in order to sort alternatives evaluated on several attributes into ordered categories. Most of them were proposed on an ad hoc basis. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to a recent trend of research aiming at giving these methods sound theoretical foundations. Using tools from conjoint measurement, we provide an axiomatic analys...

This paper presents a new fuzzy multicriteria classi®cation method, called PROAFTN, for assigning alternatives to prede®ned categories. This method belongs to the class of supervised learning algorithms and enables to determine the fuzzy indi€erence relations by generalising the indices (concordance and discordance) used in the ELECTRE III method. Then, it assigns the fuzzy belonging degree of ...

This paper describes an automated tool that allows the analyst to systematically vary key parameters of the ELECTRE III multicriteria decision-making tool, thereby facilitating sensitivity analyses of the results. We also demonstrate how the sensitivity analyses can be presented by means of an intuitive graphical depiction of shifts in the rankings of alternatives that can be readily interprete...
