Description: The PROMETHEE method is a multi-criteria decision-making method addressing with outranking problems. The method establishes a preference structure between the alternatives, having a preference function for each criterion. IN this context, three variants of the method is carried out: PROMETHEE I (Partial Outranking), PROMETHEE II (Total Outranking), and PROMETHEE III (Outranking by Intervals).

PROMETHEE I, II, and III Methods

Description

The PROMETHEE method is a multti-criteria decision-making method addressing with outranking problems. The method establishes a preference structure between the alternatives, having a preference function for each criterion. IN this context, three variants of the method is carried out: PROMETHEE I (Partial pre-ordering), PROMETHEE II (Total pre-ordering), and PROMETHEE III (pre-ordering by inervals).

Usage

 promethee123(alternatives, criteria, decision_matrix, min_max,
normalization_function, q_indifference, p_preference, s_curve_change, criteria_weights)

Arguments

alternatives

The names respective to set of alternatives in evaluation

criteria

The names respective to set of criteria in evaluation

decision_matrix

A matrix where rows correspond to the criteria and columns correspond to alternatives, there is inputed the performance of alternatives in each criterion

min_max

A vector with objectives, minimize or maximize, to each criteria.

normalization_function

Numerical description relative to each type of normalization function to each criterion

q_indifference

Indifference threshold

p_preference

Preference threshold

s_curve_change

Threshold of changing in the curve

criteria_weights

Numerical representation of the respective importance for each criterion

Details

- For normalization function we have six types: [ 1 ] for USUAL (0 or 1) — [ 2 ] for U-SHAPE (0 or 1) q [ 3 ] for V-SHAPE (x/p or 1) p [ 4 ] for LEVEL (0, 0.5 or 1) q , p [ 5 ] for V-SHAPE I (0, (x-q)/(p-q) or 1) q , p [ 6 ] for GAUSSIAN (0 or 1-e^(-x^2/2*s^2)) s ———————————- q = indifference parameter p = preference parameter s = parameter to indicate change in the preference curve

- The input of thresholds depends of the type of preference function used;

- The sum of weights must be 1;

Value

- Performance in each criterion;

- Global Index of Importance;

- Importance Flows (Positive, Negative, and Net);

- Preference relations in PROMETHEE I;

- Total Outranking in PROMETHEE II;

- Preference relations in PROMETHEE III;

- Graphical representations of PROMETHEE I, II, and III.
