Title: Multicriteria Preference Modeling with Partial Information Using FITradeoff Method

Report Abstract:

his Talk discusses the use of partial information obtained from DMs with tradeoff questions for criteria aggregation by an additive model in MAVT scope. A Multicriteria Decision Aiding process is applied by using a DSS (Decision Support System) with the FITradeoff method. For choice problematic, seeking for the best alternative, the FITradeoff explores potential optimal alternatives. For ranking problematic, the method searches for dominance relations between all pair of alternatives in the set of alternatives. Different sets of linear programming models are applied in both problematics in order to obtain the results. The Preference Modeling process has been improved by using graphical visualization. It has been possible to improve the design of the DSS and also to produce insights for the analyst when interacting with decision makers (DMs) with support of neuroscience experiments. A DSS, available at www.fitradeoff.org, has been applied in many decision problems, so that its applicability is illustrated with some of those problems.
