Weight determination and ranking priority in interval group MCDM

A Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers-Based Approach for Aggregating Group Preferences and Ranking Decision Alternatives in MCDM

In this paper we introduce an approach for solving multiattribute decision-making problems in which there are several decision-makers who individually and independently elicit their preferences. The preferences of each decision-maker are imprecise and represented by an imprecise additive multiattribute utility function. We allow for incomplete information on the component utility functions and ...

Ranking of DMUs on interval data by imposing a minimum weight restriction in DEA

Linguistic Mcdm Ranking Guided by Expert’s Rules

In complex domains it is usually quite difficult to introduce context information. However, sometimes that information should be taken into account to take decisions, because it provides some relevant knowledge that cannot be expressed using an attribute-value representation. In this paper, we propose to use conjunctive rules to model some of the knowledge of the experts and use those rules in ...

Should you believe in the Shanghai ranking? An MCDM view

This paper proposes a critical analysis of the “Academic Ranking of World Universities”, published every year by the Institute of Higher Education of the Jiao Tong University in Shanghai and more commonly known as the Shanghai ranking. After having recalled how the ranking is built, we first discuss the relevance of the criteria and then analyze the proposed aggregation method. Our analysis use...

Measuring Congruence of Ranking Results Applying Particular MCDM Methods

The aim of the current research is to measure objective congruence (incongruence) of the results obtained in a process of multiple criteria analysis when applying different MCDM methods. The methodology for evaluation of ranking results is developed on the ground of a case study of the redevelopment of derelict buildings as well as on composed experimental tasks. Fuzzified COPRAS, TOPSIS and VI...
