A probabilistic multiple criteria sorting approach based on distance functions

作者:

Highlights:

• A new distance-based sorting method is proposed for multicriteria sorting problems.

• Several distance norms for aggregation are compared for different data sets.

• Distance to ideal point is shown to be a good indicator for class identification.

• Optimistic and pessimistic positions are determined for each class.

• Optimistic and pessimistic probabilities are calculated for each alternative.
