Abstract Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a complex process. It aims to support
decision makers in making their decisions more effective and consistent. MCDM provides a …

The assignment of alternatives (observations/objects) into predefined homogenous groups
is a problem of major practical and research interest. This type of problem is referred to as …

The book discusses a new approach to the classification problem following the decision
support orientation of multicriteria decision aid. The book reviews the existing research on …

Formal decision and evaluation models are sets of explicit and well-defined rules to collect,
assess, and process information in order to be able to make recommendations in decision …

We formulate some questions that may help an analyst to choose a multicriteria decision
aiding method well adapted to the decision context. These questions take into account …

UTA methods refer to the philosophy of assessing a set of value or utility functions, assuming
the axiomatic basis of MAUT and adopting the preference disaggregation principle. UTA …

We propose preference learning algorithms for inferring the parameters of a threshold-
based sorting model from large sets of assignment examples. The introduced framework is …

We present a new multiple criteria sorting method that aims at assigning actions evaluated
on multiple criteria to p pre-defined and ordered classes. The preference information …

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 …

Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) has been increasingly adopted to solve decision-
making problems involving multiple options and multiple criteria. These methods have been …
