Resumen
Some ideas coming from Multi Criteria Decision Aid are here extended to group decision. We present a logical model in order to reflect the degree of truth of the following predicate “group G considers that option x is at least as good as y.” The proposal considers the strength of the majority using its number and the intensity of its preference, and it also acknowledges the importance of the minorities of a certain numerical significance that manifest an intense disagreement with the predicate of the outranking. The effects of the “majority dictatorship” are restricted. Since it considers simultaneously the strength of the majority, the importance of unhappy minorities, and the intensity of the preference/opposition, this model exhibits desirable qualities of the classic methods by Condorcet and Borda. This model can be used to solve problems regarding selection, ranking, classification, and sorting. Various examples are given, which show the quality of the solutions that were obtained.
