Multicriteria decision aid application to a student selection problem

Abstract: The selection of students is a complex decision making process, in which multiple selection criteria often need to be considered and where subjectiveness and imprecision are usually present, resulting that fuzzy and imprecise data should be used. This paper formulates the student selection process as a multicriteria decision analysis problem, concretely as a ranking problem, by using the ELECTRE III methodology to construct a fuzzy outranking relation, and then a genetic algorithm to exploit it and to obtain a… Show more

“…Programmer selection in particular is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem where each applicant is considered an available alternative for the decision maker (Velasquez & Hester, 2013). In other words, MCDM problem refers to making preference decisions over the available alternatives that are characterized by multiple and usually conflicting attributes which include data variation (Leyva López, 2005).…”

“…These methods mainly hold ELECTRE I characteristics and link to its basic idea. Briefly, ELECTRE I and ELECTRE IS are introduced for the selection problems; ELECTRE TRI, for the assignment problems, and ELECTRE II, III and IV, for the ranking problems (Leyva López, 2005). Since our problem's characteristics hold heterogeneous and multi-criteria structure; qualitive and quantitative consequences build on interval-number scales; uncertain and indeterminate knowledge, it is proper to apply ELECTRE I method.…”

“…In the context of the ELECTRE III method, as the method considered in this paper, Leyva Lopez [23] applied the ELECTRE III for student selecting problems. Papadopoulos and Karagiannidis [24] used this method for the optimization of decentralized energy systems.…”
