Abstract :
We address the problem of multicriteria ordered clustering i.e. the detection of ordered categories in a multicriteria context. Therefore, we propose an extension of PROMETHEE II called P2CLUST. The algorithm is both inspired by the k-means procedure and the underlying idea of the FLOWSORT method. The algorithm is tested on two real examples.
