VDA methods work with verbal form of preference elicitation and evaluation of alternatives without resorting to numbers. ARACE is based on the ideas of the VDA method ZAPROS but uses a more flexible approach to inconsistency of the decision-maker's preferences by introducing a special construct of a \"quasi-expert.\" Mismatched preferences of the decision-maker are viewed as preferences of several quasi-experts. The preference system for each quasi-expert is transitive, leading to consistent decision rules formed for each quasi-expert separately. These rules are used to compare alternatives. Differences in possible comparison of alternatives based on different quasi-experts are resolved through a Clustered Rankings Method for rankings with ties. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219622014500801","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,24]],"date-time":"2014-09-24T23:42:49Z","timestamp":1411602169000},"page":"115-140","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["ARACE \u2013 A New Method for Verbal Decision Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Denis P.","family":"Oleynikov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CAD\/CAE Systems Department, Volgograd State Technical University, Lenin avenue, 28, Volgograd 400005, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lyudmila N.","family":"Butenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAD\/CAE Systems Department, Volgograd State Technical University, Lenin avenue, 28, Volgograd 400005, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen M.","family":"Moshkovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stephens' College of Business, University of Montevallo, Montevallo 35115, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander I.","family":"Mechitov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stephens' College of Business, University of Montevallo, Montevallo 35115, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","volume-title":"Decisions with Multiple Objectives: Preferences and Value Tradeoffs","author":"Keeney R.
