Superiority and inferiority ranking method
Encyclopedia
The superiority and inferiority ranking method (or SIR method) is a multi-criteria decision making model
which can handle real data
and provides six different preference structures for the system
user. It also incorporates outranking rationale to deal with the 'poor' true-criteria preference structure which appears in selecting proper equipment. The superiority and inferiority scores are produced through the generalized criteria. The SIR method can also analyze different criteria without compiling them into a small scale as GAs.
