RUBIS

Rubis decision aid methodology

Rubis is a decision aid method for tackling the choice problem in the context of multiple criteria decision analysis (1).

Its genuine purpose is to help a decision maker to determine a single best decision alternative. Methodologically we focus on pairwise comparisons of these alternatives which lead to the concept of bipolar-valued outranking digraph (2). The work is centred around a set of five pragmatic principles which are required in the context of a progressive decision aiding methodology (3). learn more
