in this paper, a model for evaluating and ranking constructive projects will be presented. this model is based on six key criteria and a conceptual framework. these main evaluation criteria include: good history, equipment and machinery, management and technical staff, economic - financial skills and experience, and scientific and technical capabilities. these criteria and their weights were de...

14 ranking methods based on multiple criteria are suggested for evaluating the performance of the bank branches. The methods are explained via an illustrative example, and some of them are applied to a real-life data for 23 retail bank branches in a large-scale private Turkish commercial bank.

In this paper, we present an application that can be used for assessing the contributions of participants to multiple chat conversations (that debate the same topics) according to different criteria, along with the ranking of the conversations considering a list of important concepts to be

The paper deals with the methodology of complex sensitivity analysis of solution given by one of the popular multiple-criteria decision-making methods, namely the Analytic Hierarchy Process. This methodology includes evaluation of sensitivity of hierarchy elements local ranking to changes in an expert pairwise comparison judgments and evaluation of sensitivity of global ranking of decision alte...

This paper investigates the theoretical relation between loss criteria and the optimal ranking functions driven by the criteria in bipartite ranking. In particular, the relation between AUC maximization and minimization of ranking risk under a convex loss is examined. We characterize general conditions for ranking-calibrated loss functions in a pairwise approach, and show that the best ranking ...

The aim of the current research is to measure objective congruence (incongruence) of the results obtained in a process of multiple criteria analysis when applying different MCDM methods. The methodology for evaluation of ranking results is developed on the ground of a case study of the redevelopment of derelict buildings as well as on composed experimental tasks. Fuzzified COPRAS, TOPSIS and VI...

This paper addresses the concept of ranking networks to the multiple criteria of customers to find the best and alternative networks. The use of modified AHP algorithm has been shown to provide better network ranking for reasonable customer objectives than the traditional AHP method. Both the traditional method and the proposed method produced results subjective to the customer requirements. Ho...

Estimating the dependences between random variables, and ranking them accordingly, is a prevalent problem in machine learning. Pursuing frequentist and information-theoretic approaches, we first show that the p-value and the mutual information can fail even in simplistic situations. We then propose two conditions for regularizing an estimator of dependence, which leads to a simple yet effective...
