Although crisp data are fundamentally indispensable in the conventional linear programming technique for multidimensional analysis of preference (LINMAP), the observed values in the real-world problems are often imprecise or vague. These imprecise or vague data can be suitably characterized by linguistic terms which are fuzzy in nature. LINMAP has been widely used to solve multi-attribute decis...

This paper proposes the macro model and micro model for the efficiency evaluation of data warehouses (DWH), and introduces Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to comprehensively assess DWH efficiency. FDEA can determine the efficiencies of data warehouses with multiple input / output variables, and also resolve the problem that standard DEA cannot handle w...

in this paper imprecise target models has been proposed to investigate the relation between imprecise data envelopment analysis (idea) and mini-max reference point formulations. through these models, the decision makers' preferences are involved in interactive trade-off analysis procedures in multiple objective linear programming with imprecise data. in addition, the gradient projection type me...

In this paper, we reformulate the conventional DEA models as an imprecise problem and propose a novel method for evaluating DMUs when inputs outputs are fuzzy and/or ordinal or vary in intervals. For purpose, convert all data into interval data. order to each number data, use nearest weighted approximation of numbers by applying weighting function, one. manner, could The presented determine eff...

The imprecise quality of service (QoS) evaluations from consumers may lead to the inappropriate prediction for the trustworthiness of cloud services in an uncertain cloud environment. The service ranking prediction is a promising idea to overcome this deficiency of values prediction approaches by probing the ordering relations between cloud services concealed in the imprecise evaluations. To ad...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a mathematical programming-based approach for evaluates the relative efficiency of a set of dmus (decision making units). the relative efficiency of a dmu is the result of comparing the inputs and outputs of the dmu and those of other dmus in the pps (production possibility set). also, in data envelopment analysis various models have been developed in order to...

Although crisp data are fundamentally indispensable for determining the profit Malmquist productivity index (MPI), the observed values in real-world problems are often imprecise or vague. These imprecise or vague data can be suitably characterized with fuzzy and interval methods. In this paper, we reformulate the conventional profit MPI problem as an imprecise data envelopment analysis (DEA) pr...

Methods for ranking of alternatives or objects by pairwise comparisons using random set theory are proposed in the paper. Efficient algorithms weekly depending on the number of independent sources of data are considered. Methods using the imprecise Dirichlet model are used for obtaining cautious comparison measures when the number of expert judgments is rather small and standard methods of rand...
