Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we shortly describe some outranking methods other than ELECTRE and PROMETHEE. All these methods (QUALIFLEX, REGIME, ORESTE, ARGUS, EVAMIX, TACTIC and MELCHIOR) propose definitions and computations of particular binary relations, more or less linked to the basic idea of the original ELECTRE methods. Beside them, we will also describe other outranking methods (MAPPAC, PRAGMA, IDRA and PACMAN) that have been developed in the framework of the Pairwise Criterion Comparison Approach (PCCA) methodology, whose peculiar feature is to split the binary relations construction phase in two steps: in the first one, each pair of actions is compared with respect to two criteria a time; in the second step, all these partial preference indices are aggregated in order to obtain the final binary relations. Finally, one outranking method for stochastic data (the Martel and Zaras’ method) is presented, based on the use of stochastic dominance relations between each pair of alternatives.
