39 MCDA Framework A. Rolland MCDA 32 / 68
40 CRITERIA DEFINITION [ROYBOUYSSOU96] criterion= attribute with a complete binary preference relation (order, pre-order, interval order...) A criteria family should be : complete to describe the problem (exhaustivity) coherent with the global preferences as independant as possible (avoid redundancy) A. Rolland MCDA 33 / 68
41 PROBLEMS IN MULTICRITERIA DECISION THEORY [ROYBOUYSSOU96] Modelling decision problem [Tsoukias07] Choice Problem : one has to choose the best alternative(s). Ranking Problem : one has to rank the alternatives from the best to the worst. Sorting Problem : one has to sort the alternatives into pre-defined categories (ordered or not) A. Rolland MCDA 34 / 68
42 NOTATIONS Formal model : inputs a set of alternatives X = X 1... X n a representation of the preferences on the values of each criterion i N (utility function, qualitative preference relations i...) a representation of the importance of each criterion or set of criteria (weights, importance relation...) A. Rolland MCDA 35 / 68

Rolland MCDA 58 / 68
71 DECISION RULES [SLOWINSKYETAL01] Sorting problem use dominance and Rough sets is well adapted to imprecise or incomplete data easy to understand by DM PRINCIPE If x dominates y then x should be classified in a category as least as good as y one. A. Rolland MCDA 59 / 68
72 Elicitation A. Rolland MCDA 60 / 68
73 MODELS : WHAT FOR? PRESCRIPTIVE APPROACH To help a decision maker by the proposal of a solution obtained by a model DESCRIPTIVE APPROACH To describe a decision maker s preferences by the chosen model. ELICITATION The elicitation of the decision maker s preferences consists in obtaining parameters of a decisional model which explain the past decisions in order to help in the future decisions. A. Rolland MCDA 61 / 68
74 ELICITATION OF THE PARAMETERS OPTION 1 : EXPLICIT ELICITATION explain the model to the decision maker let him choose the parameters OPTION 2 : IMPLICIT ELICITATION present some (fictitious) alternatives and ask the decision maker to compare them deduct the parameters with optimization program linked to machine learning A. Rolland MCDA 62 / 68
75 ELICITATION OF THE PARAMETERS OPTION 2 : IMPLICIT ELICITATION present some (fictitious) alternatives and ask the decision maker to compare them deduct the parameters with optimization program For a score approach, need to find both : values of the utility functions values of the trade-off between criteria. A. Rolland MCDA 63 / 68
76 AHP [SAATY71, SAATY80] A method to determine the criteria weights (for a weighted sum) use of comparison of alternatives and criteria should include group decision PRINCIPE Divide the (complex) problem into a hierarchical structure Compare the criteria importance : from 1 (indifference) to 9 (extreme preference) Compare the alternatives Synthesise the comparisons (mean) to obtain a ranking Coherence of judgements A.
