Abstract

This paper exposits a novel MAUT technique, named CaRBS, which is able to preference rank a number of alternatives. Fundamentally based around the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence (DST), the quantification of evidential preference from different criteria is based on belief functions. The use of simplex plots advocates the role of CaRBS as a visual decision support system. The subsequent ranking of alternatives can be based on DST related belief and plausibility measures. Results on the ranking of US baseball teams are presented and shown to be comparable to published work using SMART and PROMETHEE as well as positively demonstrating the use of CaRBS as a tool in group decision making.
