Multiple criteria ranking and choice with all compatible minimal cover sets of decision rules

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider all minimal-cover sets of rules compatible with the pairwise comparisons.

• We illustrate an undesired arbitrariness of the existing rule-based algorithms.

• Robustness of the delivered ranking/choice recommendation is examined in several ways.

• We introduce a constructivist paradigm to Dominance-based Rough Set Approach.

• The proposed method is applied for evaluating the innovativeness of Polish cities.
