Abstract
The methods belonging to the ELECTRE family (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) devised by Roy grew from the idea that rigorous mathematical axioms are unsuited to describing a complex reality like the one of a contradiction-laden decision process. ELECTRE methods are based on the partial aggregation of preferences, which is based on the principle that the decision-maker is not perfectly rational and can therefore express, for each pair of actions (a and b), not only the preference (P) or indifference (I) towards one action or the other, but also a less marked preference labeled ‘weak’ (Q) or a situation of incomparability (R).
