Extension of the TOPSIS method for decision-making problems with fuzzy data

چکیده
Decision making problem is the process of finding the best option from all of the feasible alternatives. In this paper, from among multicriteria models in making complex decisions and multiple attribute models for the most preferable choice, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach has been dealt with. In real-word situation, because of incomplete or non-obtainable information, the data (attributes) are often not so deterministic, there for they usually are fuzzy/imprecise. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to extend the TOPSIS method to decision-making problems with fuzzy data. In this paper, the rating of each alternative and the weight of each criterion are expressed in triangular fuzzy numbers. The normalized fuzzy numbers is calculated by using the concept of a-cuts. Finally, a numerical experiment is used to illustrate the procedure of the proposed approach at the end of this paper. 2006 Published by Elsevier Inc.

متن کاملExtensions of ELECTRE-I and TOPSIS methods for group decision-making under complex Pythagorean fuzzy environment
Multi-criteria group decision-making is a process in which decision makers assess the performance of alternatives on the basis of conflicting criteria to opt the most worthy alternative as solution. TOPSIS and ELECTRE are effective and commonly used methods to solve multiple criteria decision-making problems. The aim of this study is to propose two new models, namely, complex Pythagorean fuzzy ...

Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem is one of the famous different kinds of decision making problems. In more cases in real situations, determining the exact values for MCDM problems is difficult or impossible. So, the values of alternatives with respect to the criteria or / and the values of criteria weights, are considered as fuzzy values (fuzzy numbers). In such conditions, th...
