This research is aimed to build a Clinical Group Decision Support System model that is used to diagnose the mental disorder. This model makes use of the experts’ competence to give their preferences for some features related with the kinds of mental disorder. The knowledge base is built based on those preferences through preference aggregation process using Fuzzy MultiAttribute Decision Making ...

One important issue in the theory of Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators is the determination of the associated weights. One of the first approaches, suggested by O’Hagan, determines a special class of OWA operators having maximal entropy of the OWA weights for a given level of orness; algorithmically it is based on the solution of a constrained optimization problem. In this paper, using...

We analyse the use of the ordered weighted average (OWA) in decision-making giving special attention to business and economic decision-making problems. We present several aggregation techniques that are very useful for decision-making such as the Hamming distance, the adequacy coefficient and the index of maximum and minimum level. We suggest a new approach by using immediate weights, that is, ...

Most preferred ordered weighted average (MP-OWA) operator is a new kind of neat (dynamic weight) OWA operator in the aggregation operator families. It considers the preferences of all alternatives across the criteria and provides unique aggregation characteristics in decision making. In this paper, we propose the parametric form of the MP-OWA operator to deal with the uncertainty preference inf...

The indicators system and indicators normalization method for the condition assessment of Transformer is developed and membership function of the indicators is established. The establishment of Expert Weight is decided jointly by subjective weight and objective weight which is based on entropy weight thoughts, while the indicators weight is gained by the weight which is derived from the standar...

In this paper, we present two Pythagorean fuzzy averaging aggregation operators such as, Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging (PFWA) operator, Pythagorean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (PFOWA) operator and also introduce some of their basic properties.

This paper presents a new fuzzy group decision-making approach by using probabilities and ordered weighted averages (OWA). Thus, we are able to assess the problem considering probabilistic information and the attitudinal character of the decision maker. For doing so, the fuzzy generalized probabilistic OWA (FGPOWA) operator is presented. It is an aggregation operator that unifies the probabilit...

This paper explores the application of ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators to develop water quality index, which incorporates an attitudinal dimension in the aggregation process. The major thrust behind selecting the OWA operator for aggregation of multi-criteria decision-making is its capability to encompass a range of operators bounded between minimum and maximum. A new approach for ge...

The backreaction of inhomogeneities on the cosmic dynamics is studied in the context of scalar-tensor gravity. Due to terms of indefinite sign in the non-canonical effective energy tensor of the Brans–Dicke-like scalar field, extra contributions to the cosmic acceleration can arise. Brans–Dicke and metric f(R) gravity are presented as specific examples. Certain representation problems of the fo...
