Application of Fuzzy Vectors of Normalized Weights in Decision Making Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the notion of a fuzzy vector of normalized weights is introduced, and its application in decision making models based on the weighted average operation is studied. The fuzzy vector of normalized weights represents a generalization of normalized fuzzy weights that authors formerly applied for modeling uncertain weights of criteria and/or uncertain probabilities of states of the world. Illustrative examples show that fuzzy vectors of normalized weights extend the possibilities of utilizing the vague expert information concerning weights of criteria. For three particular forms of the fuzzy vectors of normalized weights, fuzzy weighted averages of given values are calculated and the obtained results are compared. Finally, the fuzzy models of multiple criteria decision making and decision making under risk based on the fuzzy weighted average operation are described. Keywords— Decision making under risk; Fuzzy vectors; Fuzzy weighted average; Multiple criteria decision making; Normalized fuzzy weights.

Fuzzy multi-criteria decision making method based on fuzzy structured element with incomplete weight information
The fuzzy structured element (FSE) theory is a very useful toolfor dealing with fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems by transforming the criterion value vectors of eachalternative into the corresponding criterion function vectors. Inthis paper, some concepts related to function vectors are firstdefined, such as the inner product of two function vectors, thecosine of the included ...
متن کاملCorrelation coefficients of linguistic interval hesitant fuzzy sets and their application
To address the hesitancy, inconsistency and uncertainty of decision makers’ cognitions, linguistic interval hesitant fuzzy sets (LIHFSs) are efficient tools. This paper focuses on studying the application of LIHFSs. To do this, two correlation coefficients of LIHFSs are defined, which needn't consider the length of elements in LIHFSs or the arrangement of their possible interval values. To addr...
متن کاملCompositions and fuzzy compositions in decision-making models
In decision-making models, the compositions (Aitchison, 1986) are employed in various forms. They can represent the normalized weights of criteria in multiple-criteria decision-making models, or the probabilities of states of the world in the models of decision making under risk. The normalized weights express the relative information about the importance of criteria, while the probabilities re...
متن کاملType-2 fuzzy set extension of DEMATEL method combined with perceptual computing for decision making
Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...
