It has a wide attention about the methods for determining OWA operator weights. At the beginning of this dissertation, we provide a briefly overview of the main approaches for obtaining the OWA weights with a predefined degree of orness. Along this line, we nextmake an important generalization of these approaches as a special case of the well-known andmore general problem of calculation of the ...

Reasonable risk models in hazardous material transportation are of practical significance, for safeguarding the lives and properties, protecting natural environment, facilitating sustainable development. The existing can be classified into summation maximum models, which result overreliance on overall or local risk. To overcome these problems, this article, we present two novel considering diff...

The main aim is to propose a new method for estimating the Human Development Index using ordered weighted average. To develop this method, geometric average (OWGA), induced OWGA prioritized OWA (POWA) operator are studied. Using formulation in combination aggregations operators presented above proposed (PIOWGA) operator. A mathematical application carried out estimate and compare it with tradit...

Information security threat assessment involves two aspects, namely, technology and management. A great amount of uncertainties exist in the assessment, which cannot be strictly quantized. Thus, the completely objective information security risk assessment is hard to realize. To this end, this research proposed an information security threat assessment model based on Bayesian Network (BN) and O...

The management of the health-care wastes is one of the most important problems in Istanbul, a city with more than 12 million inhabitants, as it is in most of the developing countries. Negligence in appropriate treatment and final disposal of the healthcare wastes can lead to adverse impacts to public health and to the environment. This paper employs a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making ...

The rank-dependent welfare functions and the rank-dependent poverty measures are weighted sums of the income and the gap of an individual, respectively, where the weights only depend on the position of each individual. In this work we show that an OWA operator is underlying in the definition of every rankdependent welfare function and every rank-dependent poverty measure. For each OWA operator ...

This paper addresses the problem of choosing the most appropriate classification from a given set of classifications of a set of patterns. This is a relevant topic on unsupervised systems and clustering analysis because different classifications can in general be obtained from the same data set. The provided methodology is based on five fuzzy criteria which are aggregated using an Ordered Weigh...
