Preference disaggregation method for value-based multi-decision sorting problems with a real-world application in nanotechnology

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce a problem of multi-decision sorting in Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis.

• We propose a dedicated value-driven threshold-based preference disaggregation method.

• We translate the assignment examples into intra- and inter-decision constraints.

• We consider a study on the nanomaterials’ exposure management in various conditions.

• We propose a new way of dealing with potentially non-monotonic criteria.
