Since numerous criteria exist, appropriate career selection issue can be thought as a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. The aim of this study is to show that career selection can be carried out via MCDM methods and to compare ordering results of these methods. In this study, a survey is administered to a university students. In application, eight professions are comparatively ranke...

In their basic form, multicriteria decision making problems have a simple structure: given a finite number of decisions and a finite number of criteria, each decision is evaluated on each criterion, resulting in some outcome such as profit, environmental impact, sales, or expected costs. Most often, these evaluations are assumed to be quantitative. As dominances rarely occur and multidimensiona...

Three methods have previously been presented in Computer and Industrial Engineering for the selection of a statistical distribution to describe a data-set: the weighted sum model, the weighted multiplication model and data envelopment analysis. These are based on distinctive preset of parameters and result in three different rankings. In these approaches there is no interaction with the decisio...

Collaborative management is a new framework to help implement programmes in protected areas. Within this context, the aim of this work is twofold. First, to propose a robust methodology to implement collaborative management focused on ecosystem services. Second, to develop indicators for the main functions of ecosystem services. Decision makers, technical staff and other stakeholders are includ...

This paper introduces the interval-PROMETHEE method based on the composite weight to the decision making process of value investing. We use five performance criteria to measure the growth potential of the firms. They are represented by interval numbers from the real financial data. And the weights of the five criteria are compounded through the information entropy and the subjective method. The...

The method Promethee II has produced attractive results in the choice of the most satisfactory optimal solution of convex multiobjective problems. However, according to the current literature, it may not work properly with nonconvex problems. A modified version of this method, called multiplicative Promethee, is proposed in this paper. Both versions are applied to some analytical problems, prev...

this paper introduces a new method for incorporating the performance of alternatives into their ultimate ranking in a linear assignment method. this method is one of multi-criteria decision-making methods, in which the weight of criteria is incorporated in ranking the alternatives, and the distance between the performances of alternatives do not affect in ranking the alternatives. in order to m...

This paper suggests  a novel approach for ranking the most applicable fuzzy numbers, i.e.  $LR$-fuzzy numbers. Applying the  $alpha$-optimistic values of a fuzzy number, a preference criterion is proposed for ranking fuzzy numbers using the Credibility index. The main properties of the proposed  preference criterion  are also studied.  Moreover, the proposed method is   applied for ranking fuzz...

drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting the productivity of crop plants around the world. genotype-by environment (g×e) interactions are common under drought and make breeding progress difficult. for this reason twenty genotypes of bread wheat were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at 2 locations (stress and non-stress environments) in two ...
