Abstract :
The multi-criteria decision problem is to find the most satisfactory solution among many alternatives, taking into account several criteria that may be conflicting. The proposed method focuses on the person since the importance (weight) given to each criterion is defined according to the characteristics of the person. We use a special structure of Bayesian network (BN) based on the method AHP. The graph of the BN and the probabilities associated with nodes are designed to translate the knowledge of experts on the selection of an alternative.
