This paper introduces a novel approach to gene selection based on a substantial modification of analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The modified AHP systematically integrates outcomes of individual filter methods to select the most informative genes for microarray classification. Five individual ranking methods including t-test, entropy, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Wilcoxon and...

This paper formulates supplier evaluation and selection as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem with subjective and fuzzy preferences of decision makers over evaluation criteria. As an outcome, this paper provides decision makers with a decision support system that presents the Pareto fronts, a set of best possible high-quality suppliers and optimized business operation levels from s...

Development of sustainable manufacturing system is a key research area to realise the Sustainable Development Goal of any country. In this research work we have developed a model for development of a sustainable manufacturing process using fuzzy-AHP. The fuzzy-AHP technique is used to determine the effect of various factors affecting the sustainability of a product. The study shows that, adopti...

The entropies of structure, information and the effectiveness entropy between knowledge and organization structure are main entropy sources of supply chain network. Entropy model of fractal supply chain network organization structure is established. Moreover, the basic principle and process of fuzzy AHP are introduced. Fractal knowledge management network outside independently organization stru...

The selection of a project among a set of possible alternatives is a difficult task decision makers have to face. Difficulties in selecting a project arise because of the different goals involved and because of the large number of attributes to consider. Our approach is based upon a fuzzy extension of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This paper focuses on the constraints that have to be co...

In this paper, the author analyzed the synthetic four dimensional evaluation index systems on risk of carbon finance in commercial banks in China. The analysis was conducted by means of an AHP-based Fuzzy Approach which builds a system analysis technique for multiple criteria decision making, and by market risk, credit risk, operational risk and project risk. The result show that evaluation ind...

Every complex problem now days require multicriteria decision making to get to the desired solution. Numerous Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches have evolved over recent time to accommodate various application areas and have been recently explored as alternative to solve complex software engineering problems. Most widely used approach is Analytic Hierarchy Process that combines ma...

In order to evaluate social benefits in electrical power inspection scientifically and assess social responsibility performance of power supply enterprises roundly and rationally, social benefits evaluation system of electrical power inspection based on FAHP was constructed in this study. Firstly, social benefits evaluation index system of electrical power inspection was established based on it...

In this study, Turkish automotive sector needs for flexibility will be determined, and the relationships between flexibility levers and flexibility performance criteria will be evaluated with respect to the sectoral needs. The choice of the appropriate lever combinations will be made for the sector by using the results of this evaluation. The flexibility strategies will be ranked by using a fuz...

In this paper, an intelligent approach is presented to help companies select most suitable computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software among a set of existing alternatives for their current and future needs. For this purpose, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method integrating the fuzzy logic and AHP methods is used to carry out CAM selection process more effectively, easily and applica...
