متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of five fuzzy multiattribute decision-making methods
We present the development o f five fuzzy multiattribute decision-making methods. These methods are based on the analytic hierarchy process (original and ideal mode), the weighted-sum model, the weighted-product model, and the TOPSlS method. Moreover, these methods are examined in terms of two evaluative criteria. Computational results on test problems suggest that although all the methods are ...
متن کاملOn the convergence of multiattribute weighting methods
The convergent validity of ®ve multiattribute weighting methods is studied in an Internet experiment. This is the ®rst experiment where the subjects created the alternatives and attributes themselves. Each subject used ®ve methods to assess attribute weights ± one version of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), direct point allocation, simple multiattribute rating technique (SMART), swing weig...
