Abstract

An interesting decision-making problem is that aggregating multi-agent preference orderings into a consensus ordering, in the case the agents׳ importance is expressed in the form of a rank-ordering. Due to the specificity of the problem, the scientific literature encompasses a relatively small number of aggregation techniques. For the aggregation to be effective, it is important that the consensus ordering well reflects the input data, i.e., the agents׳ preference orderings and importance rank-ordering.
