Selecting an Appropriate Express Railway Pavement System Using VIKOR Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model

Determining appropriate weight for criteria in multi criteria group decision making problems using an Lp model and similarity measure

Decision matrix in group decision making problems depends on a lot of criteria. It is essential to know the necessity ofweight or coefficient of each criterion. Accurate and precise selection of weight will help to achieve the intended goal.The aim of this article is to introduce a linear programming model for recognizing the importance of each criterion inmulti criteria group decision making w...

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

Multi criteria decision making approach for selecting effort estimation model

Effort Estimation has always been a challenging task for the Project managers. Many researchers have tried to help them by creating different types of models. This has been already proved that none is successful for all types of projects and every type of environment. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been identified as the tool that would help in Multi Criteria Decision Making. Researchers ...

Prioritizing Rangeland Improvement Practices using Multi-Criteria Decision Making Approach

Selecting the appropriate rangeland improvement method is a challenging task for range managers because it requires consideration of  various criteria. This study was  aimed to evaluate various restoration and reclamation practices in the rangelands of Semirom-Isfahan using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. Grazing management, water point development, pit seeding, exclosure, water ...

SHAPLEY FUNCTION BASED INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY VIKOR TECHNIQUE FOR CORRELATIVE MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING PROBLEMS

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) has developed to cope with the uncertainty of imprecise human thinking. In the present communication, new entropy and similarity measures for IVIFSs based on exponential function are presented and compared with the existing measures. Numerical results reveal that the proposed information measures attain the higher association with the existing me...
