Abstract

Decision-making is mostly subjected to conflict of interest. To solve such a concern, we propose a methodology to generate agreement solutions that determine the most value-aligned preference system according to the stakeholders. These preferences are represented as a weighting scheme that produces a ranking system through the TOPSIS technique. Such an agreement is obtained utilizing an unweighted multicriteria strategy and the least-squares approximation. As a result, this weighting vector is an objective data-driven solution, thus giving empirical evidence and adaptability learning in our proposal. The given solution is also explainable and scalable per se thanks to the multicriteria technique selected. The agreement weight is used to perform a ranking system that solves the decision problem considering the value preferences of the stakeholders. We performed an illustrative example to show the different steps from which the decision problem must be posed to be resolved. We conclude that our proposal is quite effective for solving value-based decision problems in which conflicts of interest arise among affective agents. Moreover, we show the interpretation of the agreement solution and its use in decision-making.
