Decision Making with Prostate Cancer: A Multiple-Objective Model with Uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
When diagnosed with prostate cancer, a patient has a difficult decision to make. There are several different treatment alternatives available, with varying cure rates and probabilities of side effects over a period of many years. This paper describes a wellinformed, objective, and personalized model for comparing treatments and helping a patient make the best possible decision.

A New Compromise Decision-making Model based on TOPSIS and VIKOR for Solving Multi-objective Large-scale Programming Problems with a Block Angular Structure under Uncertainty
This paper proposes a compromise model, based on a new method, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. In this compromise programming method, two concepts are considered simultaneously. First of them is that the optimal ...
متن کاملOptimal Cropping Pattern Modifications with the Aim of Environmental-Economic Decision Making Under Uncertainty
Sustainability in agricultural is determined by aspects like economy, society and environment. Multi-objective programming (MOP) model has been a widely used tool for studying and analyzing the sustainability of agricultural system. However, optimization models in most applications are forced to use data which is uncertain. Recently, robust optimization has been used as an optimization model th...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an objective method for priority determination of decision making units (DMUs) with the same multiple inputs and outputs. DEA is an efficiency estimation technique, but it can be used for solving many problems of management such as rankig of DMUs. Many researchers have found similarity between DEA and MCDM techniques. One of the earliest techniques in MCDM is...

متن کاملTarget setting in the process of merging and restructuring of decision-making units using multiple objective linear programming
This paper presents a novel approach to achieving the goals of data envelopment analysis in the process of reconstruction and integration of decision-making units by using multiple objective linear programming. In this regard, first, we review inverse data envelopment analysis models for data reconstruction and integration. We present a model with multi-objective linear programming structure in...
