Abstract: In this paper, a multicriterion ranking procedure based on distance between partial preorders is proposed. This method consists of two phases. In the first phase, the decision maker is asked to rank alternatives with a preorder (complete or partial) for each criterion and provide complete or partial linear information about the relative importance (weights) of the criteria. In the second phase, we introduce a distance procedure to aggregate the above individual rankings into a global ranking (a partial preorder). An algorithm for the aggregation procedure is proposed, followed a numerical illustration.
