Fuzzy Measures Acquisition Methods

Fuzzy measures are monotonic set functions used for modelling strength of coalition of criteria in multicriteria decision-making. However, the practical application of fuzzy measures is difficult. The problem of fuzzy measures acquisition can be thought as an engineering problem. In our study, we have investigated the issue of fuzzy measures acquisition from an engineering perspective. Many methods have been suggested for resolving this issue. We are presenting our theoretical study on these methods. We extend the state-of-art by proposing similarity-based methods for fuzzy measure acquisition. Index Terms Fuzzy measures, multicriteria decision-making, similarity
