A new method for deriving the priority weights from interval comparison matrix
نویسنده
چکیده
Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a useful method in multi-criteria decision making problems. Crisp comparison matrices produce crisp weight estimates. It is logical for an interval or fuzzy comparison matrix to give an interval or fuzzy weight estimate. In this paper, a new method is proposed to generate interval weight estimate from an interval comparison matrix, which can be either consistent or inconsistent. It is based on the arithmetic mean and correct normalization methods. Numerical results are calculated to show the quality and quantity of the proposed approaches and compare with other existing procedures. The obtained results show that the proposed method are simple, effective, without solving any mathematical programming and complicated algebraic operation.

متن کاملInterval-Valued Hesitant Fuzzy Method based on Group Decision Analysis for Estimating Weights of Decision Makers
In this paper, a new soft computing group decision method based on the concept of compromise ratio is introduced for determining decision makers (DMs)' weights through the group decision process under uncertainty. In this method, preferences and judgments of the DMs or experts are expressed by linguistic terms for rating the industrial alternatives among selected criteria as well as the relativ...

The proposed model has several merits over the competing approaches and removes the drawbacks of...
متن کاملDeriving Weights of Criteria from Inconsistent Fuzzy Comparison Matrices by Using the Nearest Weighted Interval Approximation
Deriving the weights of criteria from the pairwise comparison matrix with fuzzy elements is investigated. In the proposed method we first convert each element of the fuzzy comparison matrix into the nearest weighted interval approximation one. Then by using the goal programming method we derive the weights of criteria. The presented method is able to find weights of fuzzy pairwise comparison ma...
متن کاملMultiple attribute group decision making with linguistic variables and complete unknown weight information
Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...
