Abstract

In this paper we address multicriteria decision problems when only partial information is given in the decision making process. We develop a methodology to sequentially incorporate preference information in these processes. A geometrical representation is presented, providing assistance to visualize the quality of the given partial information and to recognize the need of further improvement of this information.
