Value of information in multiple criteria decision making: an application to forest conservation

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

A modification of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets and its application to multiple criteria decision making

Probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) is a fruitful concept that adds to hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) the term of probability which is able to retain more information than the usual HFS. Here, we demonstrate that the existing definitions of PHFS are not still reasonable, and therefore, we first improve the PHFS definition. By endowing the set and algebraic operations with a new re-definition of P...

Multiple-criteria decision making: application to medical devices

At present, complex evaluation of medical devices is very topical. The methods of pharmacoeconomics and cost analyses appear to need some modifications caused by a different character of medical devices [1]. One of the approaches to this task is utilization of multi-criteria decision making [2]. In this study, a methodology for medical devices evaluation is suggested based on the multi-criteria...

The place of AHP method among Multi Criteria Decision Making methods in forest management

As the name implies, Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDMs) is a decision making tool that capable the selection of the most preferred choice in a context where several criteria apply simultaneously.  Primary purpose of this study is to examine the status of Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDMs) in forest management. The study also aims to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses ...

Application of multi-criteria decision making to estimate the potential of flooding

Integrating a geographic information system and multi-criteria decision making methods have been lead to provide spatial multi-criteria decision making methods. In this study, the spatial potential of flooding was determined based on analytic network process and analytic hierarchy process. At first, six factors of flooding were determined as criteria. The criteria were the slope, hill-slope asp...
