New linear model clarifies group decision-making in PROMETHEE II

Researchers have developed a new linear reparametrization for PROMETHEE II net flow scores, which clarifies the interaction between criteria weights and preference functions in group decision-making problems. This new approach allows for the minimization of deviations in weights and preference functions, offering distinct objectives for multiple decision-makers to achieve either total consensus or fairer outcomes based on maximal individual deviation. An example demonstrates that considering variations in preference functions can significantly alter the conclusions drawn from traditional weight-only inverse analysis. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel analytical framework for group decision-making problems, potentially impacting AI systems that require consensus or multi-agent coordination.

    From Outranking Flow Scores to Linear Programs: Group Decision Making in PROMETHEE II

    arXiv:2610.34481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study inverse and consensus analysis for PROMETHEE II ranking problems when the performance table is fixed. Existing approaches in PROMETHEE-based sensitivity and consensus analysis usually focus on deviations of criteria weights…
