چکیده

In this paper, the decision making problems with the dependence and the feedback effects are considered. Although the analytic network/hierarchy process (ANP/AHP) has been proposed to deal with the problems above, several problems make the method impractical. In this paper, we proposed the fuzzy decision maps (FDM), which incorporates the eigenvalue method, the fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM), and the weighting equation, to overcome the problem of preferential independent and the shortcomings of the ANP. In addition, two numerical examples are used to demonstrate the proposed method. On the basis of the numerical results, we can conclude that the proposed method can soundly deal with the decision making problems with the dependence and the feedback effects. 2006 Published by Elsevier Inc.

Type-2 fuzzy set extension of DEMATEL method combined with perceptual computing for decision making

Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...
