the aim of this study was to introduce a new idea in site selection of the sport facilities. at first, the studied domain was categorized into 6 incoherent scales by ahp method and based on 12 criteria including different urban land uses and elements. the lands with the maximum value and the area of 1502965.8 m2 comprised 6% of the whole domain. then, after teaming up on the research project, t...

This paper is devoted to the study of methods allowing to sort multi-attributed alternatives between several ordered categories. Within a general framework that encompasses most sorting models proposed in the literature, we provide an axiomatic analysis of what we call noncompensatory sorting models, with or without veto effects. These models contain the pessimistic version of ELECTRE TRI as a ...

ELECTRE TRI is a set of methods designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. The original method uses limiting profiles. A recently introduced method uses central profiles. We study the relations between these two methods. We do so by investigating if an ordered partition obtained with one method can also be obtained with the other method, after a suitabl...

Big data sizes are constantly increasing. Big data analytics is where advanced analytic techniques are applied on big data sets. Analytics based on large data samples reveals and leverages business change. The popularity of big data analytics platforms, which are often available as open-source, has not remained unnoticed by big companies. Google uses MapReduce for PageRank and inverted indexes....

Given a ®nite set of alternatives A, the sorting (or assignment) problem consists in the assignment of each alternative to one of the pre-de®ned categories. In this paper, we are interested in multiple criteria sorting problems and, more precisely, in the existing method ELECTRE TRI. This method requires the elicitation of preferential parameters (weights, thresholds, category limits,. . .) in ...

This work proposes a Progressive Assisted Sorting Algorithm (PASA) based on a multicriteria evaluation ELECTRE-type method. The purpose of the PASA is to aid a decision maker to progressively sort a set of alternatives into a set of categories, which we considered are ordered (ordinal sorting), following a consistency principle. We consider the principle that if an alternative outranks (is as g...

this paper attempts to rank the effective factors in making trust in social networks to provide the possibility of attracting and increasing users’ trust on these social networks for providers and designers of online social networks. identifying the effective factors in making trust in social networks is a multi-criteria decision making problem and most of effective factors are ambiguous and un...

A comparative study of ranking river basin planning and development alternatives under a multi-criterion environment, including both qualitative and quantitative aspects using ELECTRE and RANFUW methodologies, is presented in this paper. The purpose is to find the most suitable planning for reservoirs with their associated purposes aimed at the sustained development of one of the major peninsul...
