Purpose: In this article, we combine this new approach based on the concepts of Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to evaluate and select the best supplier. Design/methodology/approach: Supplier evaluation is a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problem that is affected by quantitative and qualitative factors, some of which may conflict. Since most of th...

This article addresses reinsurance decision making process, which involves the insurance company and the reinsurance company, and is negotiated through reinsurance intermediaries. The article proposes a decision flow to model the reinsurance design and selection process. In contrast to existing literature on pure proportional reinsurance or stop-loss reinsurance, this article focuses on the com...

Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) is usually used to aggregate fuzzy data successfully. Choosing the best option regarding not generally symmetric on grounds that it does provide complete information. Since Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators (AOs) have great impact due their parameter variableness, they been well applied in MADM under construction. Recently, AOs intuitionistic sets (IFSs),...

Cancer cell of origin is difficult to identify by analyzing cells within terminal stage tumors, whose identity could be concealed by the acquired plasticity. Thus, an ideal approach to identify the cell of origin is to analyze proliferative abnormalities in distinct lineages prior to malignancy. Here, we use mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM) in mice to model gliomagenesis by initiating...

Similarity measure is an important tool to measure the degree of resemblance between two intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper, in order to overcome the counter-intuitive in some cases, a new similarity measure of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is constructed and successively applied in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. Based on the proposed similarity measure, a new decision making meth...
