A Characterization of Optimality Criteria for Decision Making under Complete Ignorance

چکیده
In this paper we present a model for decision making under complete ignorance. By complete ignorance it is meant that all that is known is the set of possible consequences associated to each action. Especially there is no set of states that can be enumerated in order to compare actions. We give two natural axioms for rational decision making under complete ignorance. We show that the optimality criteria satisfying these two axioms are the ones which consider only the extremal consequences of actions. We compare our axioms with related ones from the literature.

A decision making model for outsourcing of manufacturing activities by ANP and DEMATEL under fuzzy environment
Decision making about outsourcing or insourcing of manufacturing activities is a type of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem, which requires considering quantitative and qualitative factors as evaluation criteria simultaneously. Therefore, a suitable MCDM method can be useful in this area as it can consider the interactions among quantitative and qualitative criteria. The analytic...
متن کاملDeciding under Partial Ignorance
We study the problem of making decisions under partial ignorance, or partially quantified uncertainty. This problem arises in many applications in robotics and AI, and it has not yet got the attention it deserves. The traditional decision rules of decision under risk and under strict uncertainty (or complete ignorance) can naturally be extended to the more general case of decision under partial...

متن کاملINTUITIONISTIC FUZZY DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS FOR MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING
Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...
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 ...
