Value-based decision-making for orphan drugs with multiple criteria decision analysis: burosumab for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia

INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS FOR MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING

Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...

APPROXIMATE ALGORITHM FOR THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL KNAPSACK PROBLEM BY USING MULTIPLE CRITERIA DECISION MAKING

In this paper, an interesting and easy method to solve the multi-dimensional  knapsack problem is presented. Although it belongs to the combinatorial optimization, but the proposed method belongs to the decision making field in mathematics. In order to, initially efficiency values for every item is calculated then items are ranked by using Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDA).  Finally, ite...

Sensitivity analysis for criteria values in decision making matrix of SAW method

Insight into reimbursement decision-making criteria in Bulgaria: implications for orphan drugs.

OBJECTIVE This article's objective is to critically assess the Bulgarian legislation on health technology assessment (HTA). It analyses how innovative therapies and orphan drugs in particular would respond to the regulators' decision-making criteria for reimbursement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study features critical analysis of current decision-making criteria for drug reimbursement in Bulga...

Trace-Based Weighting Approach for Multiple Criteria Decision Making

Decision-making has evolved as an interesting research problem for decision community. We consider a decision problem that takes into account several criteria called Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) in an interactive application for adaptive execution. In this paper, we present a method for automatically weighting criteria generation based on users’ traces. In our method, we suggest a p...
