The renewable energy transition is a priority for many researchers, policy makers, and political leaders because it projected to stop the dependence of economic growth on increasing fossil fuel use thus curtail climate change. This study examines how expert judgments affect development decisions enable transition. Geospatial Multi-Criteria Decision Analyses (MCDA) are frequently used select off...

With respect to different confidence on evaluation result from different decision-makers to the hybrid multi-attribute with risk, an approach to group decisionmaking based on prospect theory and projection theory is proposed. Firstly, a tuple is established to record the evaluation result and the hybrid decision information. Then the element of the tuple is changed into a single triangular fuzz...

Abstract. The most popular models of decision making use a single criterion to evaluate projects or lotteries. However, decision makers may actually consider multiple criteria when evaluating projects. We consider a dual criteria model from psychology. This model integrates the familiar tradeoffs between risk and utility that economists traditionally assume, allowance for rank-dependent decisio...

The paper deals with a step-wise analytic hierarchy process (AHP) applied by a group of decision makers wherein nobody has a dominant position and it is unlikely to come to terms with respect to either the weights of different objectives or expected utilities of different alternatives. One of the AHP outcomes, that is the consistency index is computed for each decision maker, for all other deci...

The aim of this paper is to investigate intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute group decision making problems where the attribute values provided by experts are expressed in intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, and the weight information about the experts is to be determined. We present a new method to derive the weights of experts and rank the preference order of alternatives based on projection mod...

When subjective descriptions of judgmental policies have been compared to statistical descriptions of policies, investigators have repeatedly found an imperfect correspondence between subjective and statistical measures of importance. There is reason to believe, however, that these findings may be due to the use of inadequate procedures for obtaining subjective weights. The present study, there...

supplier selection is one of the most important activities of purchasing departments. this importance is increased even more by new strategies in a supply chain, because of the key role suppliers perform in terms of quality, costs and services which affect the outcome in the buyer’s company. supplier selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem in which the objectives are not equall...

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FS) provide us with additional degrees of freedom to represent the uncertainty and the fuzziness of the real word than traditional type-1 fuzzy sets. In this paper, we investigate the fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making (FMAGDM) problems in which all the information provided by the decision makers (DMs) is expressed as IT2 FS, and the information about at...
