MRSort_assignment

Provider:R-MCDA
Version:1.0

Description

This simplification of the Electre TRI method uses the pessimistic assignment rule, without indifference or preference thresholds attached to criteria. Only a binary discordance condition is considered, i.e. a veto forbids an outranking in any possible concordance situation, or not.
