Abstract

Most multicriteria aggregation functions are designed in a mono-decision-maker context. Using them for multi-decision-maker problems requires a prior transformation of the individual data of each decision-maker into a collective datum. Recently a method for the aggregation of data in the context of social choices has been introduced by Ngoie et al. (2015a): The Mean-Median Compromise Method (MMCM). In this paper, we suggest an adaptation of the MMCM to multi-criteria multi-decision-maker problems: the Mean and Median for Multi-Criteria Decision (3MCD). We also examine some properties of this rule.
