ELECTRE TRI-B — Sorting with central reference profiles (boundary variant)

OriginatorYu, W.Year1992Sources1Related methods9

ELECTRE-TRI-B (ELECTRE TRI-B — Sorting with central reference profiles (boundary variant)) is a sorting multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Yu, W. in 1992. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

Key highlights

  • Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
  • Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.
