We propose a hybrid forecast model based on discrete grey-fuzzy Markov and grey –neural network model and show that our hybrid model can improve much more the performance of forecast than traditional grey-Markov model and neural network models. Our simulation results are shown that our hybrid forecast method with the combinational weight based on optimal grey relation degree method is better th...

Purpose – The relationship between energy consumption (EC) and economic growth is a well-known and more studied subject in literature. In this study, Turkey’s EC and gross domestic product (GDP) relation is analyzed. The aim of this study is to find out the relative importance of energy components on GDP for Turkey. Hence, the authors can make some strategic implications up to the importance of...

According to the urban logistics green degree’s evaluation, a weighted grey correlation analysis method based on the analytic hierarchy process is proposed to determine the weight of each index in the urban logistics green degree evaluation system, and then figure out the optimal relative degree, realizing the green degree of each urban logistics. Finally, an example was given for proving the e...

The performance assessment of professional baseball starting pitchers is considered a multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problem. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to evaluate starting pitcher performance for teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The AHP is used to determine attribute weights,...

Present work aims to develop an efficient decision support system (DSS) to facilitate supply chain performance appraisement, benchmarking and related decision-making. Supply chain performance extent can be attributed as a function of multiple criteria/attributes. Most of the criterions/attributes being intangible in nature; supply chain performance appraisement relies on the subjective judgment...
