Abstract :
We consider ranking problems where the actions are evaluated on a set of ordinal criteria and where the evaluations are imperfect and represented by basic belief assignments (BBAs). In this paper, a model inspired by PROMETHEE is proposed within this context. The notions of ascending and descending belief functions are used in order to compare the alternatives on each criterion. The proposed approach is also illustrated by a pedagogical example.
