Dominance measuring methods within MAVT/MAUT with imprecise information concerning decision-makers' preferences

Dominance measuring methods are an approach for dealing with complex decision-making problems with imprecise information within multi-attribute value/utility theory. These methods are based on the computation of pairwise dominance values and exploit the information in the dominance matrix in different ways to derive measures of dominance intensity and rank the alternatives under consideration. In this paper we review dominance measuring methods proposed in the literature for dealing with imprecise information (intervals, ordinal information or fuzzy numbers) about decision-makers' preferences and their performance in comparison with other existing approaches, like SMAA and SMAA-II or Sarabando and Dias' method.
