Detecting outliers in multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) field is a new research direction that has not been enough explored. This paper tackles this problem by proposing a statistical approach based on PROMETHEE method net-flow. To consider the multicriteria character of the problem, the net-flow of each object is computed by applying PROMETHEE method. According to the normal distribution of the net-flow values, the standard deviation (SD) or interquartile range (IQR) statistical methods are used to detect outliers. To prove its applicability, the proposed approach is evaluated on real life problem.

Abstract.Multicriteria decision aid methods are used to analyze decision problems including a series of alternative decisions evaluated on several criteria. They most often assume that perfect information is available with respect to the evaluation of the alternative decisions. However, in practice, imprecision, uncertainty or indetermination are often present at least for some criteria. This is a limit of most multicriteria methods. In particular the PROMETHEE methods do not allow directly for taking into account this kind of imperfection of information. We show how a general framework can be adapted to PROMETHEE and can be used in order to integrate different imperfect information models such as a.o. probabilities, fuzzy logic or possibility theory. An important characteristic of the proposed approach is that it makes it possible to use different models for different criteria in the same decision problem.

Pollution and environmental factors are a core topic because they influence in air quality of the different areas of a city. This is why in this article we propose to apply a multicriteria decision aid method (the Promethee) to establish a ranking among twenty one districts of Madrid city. To develop this ranking we use objective and subjective criteria that contain information about pollution and environmental indicators in these districts. The results show that some districts are the worse and the best regardless the used criteria.
