A non-parametric method for determining epidemiological reproduction numbers

A novel parametric ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy numbers

Since the inception of intuitionistic fuzzy sets in 1986, many authors have proposed different methods for ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). How ever, due to the complexity of the problem, a method which gives a satisfactory result to all situations is a challenging task. Most of them contained some shortcomings, such as requirement of complicated calculations, inconsistency with hum...

Application of parametric form for ranking of fuzzy numbers

In this paper, we propose a new approach for ranking all fuzzynumbers based on revising the ranking method proposed by Ezzati et al. cite{Ezzati}.To this end, we present and investigate some properties of the proposed approach indetails. Finally, to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method, it is applied to several groups of fuzzy numbers and the results are compared with other related a...

A new non-parametric approach for suppliers selection

In this paper we propose a simple non-parametric model for multiple crite-ria supplier selection problem. The proposed model does not generate a zeroweight for a certain criterion and ranks the suppliers without solving the modeln times (one linear programming (LP) for each supplier) and therefore allowsthe manager to get faster results. The methodology is illustrated using anexample.
