A theory of measuring, electing, and ranking.

چکیده
The impossibility theorems that abound in the theory of social choice show that there can be no satisfactory method for electing and ranking in the context of the traditional, 700-year-old model. A more realistic model, whose antecedents may be traced to Laplace and Galton, leads to a new theory that avoids all impossibilities with a simple and eminently practical method, "the majority judgement." It has already been tested.

Ranking Efficient Decision Making Units Using Cooperative Game Theory Based on SBM Input-Oriented Model and Nucleolus Value
In evaluating the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, may be more than one DMU has an efficiency score equal to one. Since ranking of efficient DMUs is essential for decision makers, therefore, methods and models for this purpose are presented. One of ranking methods of efficient DMUs is cooperative game theory. In this study, Lee and Lozano mod...
متن کاملProposal : Electing Committees Stephen C
Extensive work has been done to expose and analyze the flaws in common single-candidate election procedures. Arrow’s Theorem states that there exists no perfect voting procedure, so the existing research serves to compare and analyze existing voting systems as well as propose new systems. The problem of electing committees is clearly more complex; less research has been done to investigate the ...
متن کاملCREDIBILITY THEORY ORIENTED PREFERENCE INDEX FOR RANKING FUZZY NUMBERS
This paper suggests a novel approach for ranking the most applicable fuzzy numbers, i.e. $LR$-fuzzy numbers. Applying the $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number, a preference criterion is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers using the Credibility index. The main properties of the proposed preference criterion are also studied. Moreover, the proposed method is applied for ranking fuzz...
متن کاملSelection of Sustainable Supplier for Medical Centers with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) & Multi-Attributed Utility Theory (MAUT) Approaches
Background and Objectives: The selection of the sustainable supplier is important for any industry. Medical centers are not an exception in this case, and selecting the best sustainable supplier is a major step towards increasing their productivity. This paper, using the Data Envelopment Analysis and then using Multi-Attributed Utility Theory as a backup approach to fix errors, attempts t...
متن کاملRanking Network-Structured Decision-Making Units and Its Application in Bank Branches
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method used for measuring the efficiency of decision-making units. Unlike the standard models, which assume decision-making units to be a black box, network data envelopment analysis focuses on the internal structure of these units. Some researchers have developed a two-stage method where all the inputs are entirely used in the first stage, producin...
