Given a set of evaluation criteria G = {g m }, m = 1, 2,…, M, and a finite set A = {a n }, n = 1, 2,…, N of potential alternatives (actions), let us start with the simple assumption that the performance (i.e. the criterion score) of an alternative a n with respect to a judgement criterion g m is based on an interval or ratio scale of measurement. For simplicity's sake, it is assumed that a higher value of a criterion is preferred to a lower one (i.e. the higher, the better). The pair-wise comparison of alternatives proposed here is a preference modelling structure based on the so-called threshold model and fuzzy preference relations.
