Fuzzy multi-criteria decision making method based on fuzzy structured element with incomplete weight information
The fuzzy structured element (FSE) theory is a very useful toolfor dealing with fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems by transforming the criterion value vectors of eachalternative into the corresponding criterion function vectors. Inthis paper, some concepts related to function vectors are firstdefined, such as the inner product of two function vectors, thecosine of the included ...
متن کاملDecisions Based on Conflicting and Inaccurate Observations’
Subjects learned the accuracies of 8 cues in a series of 50 learning trials and then used pairs of these cues to predict which of two equally likely symbols occurred in each of 100 test trials. It was concluded that: (a) estimates of cues with very high or very low accuracies are better than estimates of cues with intermediate accuracies ; (b) accurate cues are perceived more realistically than...

An Approach to Multiple Attribute Decision Making based on Incomplete Information on Alternatives
Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) refers to the problem of selecting among alternatives associated with multiple, usually conflicting, attributes. Based on incomplete preference information on alternatives given by the Decision Maker (DM), this paper proposes an mathematical programming approach to solve the MADM problem. To reflect the DM’s preference information, an optimization model...
متن کاملHow to Handle Incomplete Knowledge Concerning Moving Objects
In this paper, we present a way of how to handle incomplete knowledge concerning moving objects. Our approach is based on the basic Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTCB), which is a calculus for handling interactions between moving point objects (MPO’s). Without elaborating on the domain of linguistics, we show that QTC B B is well-fitted to represent spatiotemporal natural language. Illustrat...
