A New ER-MCDA Mapping for Decision-Making Based on Imperfect Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Evidential Reasoning for Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (ER-MCDA) is based on a mapping process transforming a possibility distribution into a Bayesian basic belief assignment (BBA) related to a qualitative frame of discernement (FoD). Each element of the FoD is a fuzzy set. A new improved mapping method is proposed to get a final potentially non-Bayesian BBA on the FoD. We apply it to assess the stability of protective check dams against torrential floods given their imprecise scouring rate.

AHP and uncertainty theories for decision making using the ER-MCDA methodology
In this paper, we present the ER-MCDA methodology for multi-criteria decision-making based on imperfect information coming from more or less reliable and conflicting sources. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP ), Fuzzy Sets, Possibility and Belief Functions theories are combined to take a decision based on imprecise and uncertain evaluations of quantitative, qualitative criteria. Classical agg...
متن کاملNew Belief Functions based methods for multicriteria decision making
Any decision is closely linked to the quality and availability of information. Innovative methodologies are proposed to help decisions based on imperfect information provided by more or less reliable and conflicting sources in uncertain context. These methods combine new uncertainty theories and multicriteria decision making. The ER-MCDA methodology associates the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AH...
متن کاملApplying ER-MCDA and BF-TOPSIS to Decide on Effectiveness of Torrent Protection
Experts take into account several criteria to assess the effectiveness of torrential flood protection systems. In practice, scoring each criterion is imperfect. Each system is assessed choosing a qualitative class of effectiveness among several such classes (high, medium, low, no). Evidential Reasoning for Multi-Criteria Decision-Analysis (ER-MCDA) approach can help formalize this Multi-Criteri...
متن کاملApplying New Uncertainty Related Theories and Multicriteria Decision Analysis Methods to Snow Avalanche Risk Management
Taking the “best” decision is an important issue in the natural risks expertise and management process because of lack of information and knowledge about natural phenomena and also because of the heterogeneity and reliability of information sources (historical data, field measures, expert judgements). One main problem is therefore to help decision making with regard to the respective quality, i...
متن کاملDecision Support Tools for Natural Hazards Management under Uncertainty New Approaches Based on Multicriteria Decision Analysis and Evidential Reasoning
The natural risks management process involves several temporal steps (preparedness, mitigation, crisis management, recovery...) and spatial zones (triggering, propagation and deposition or extension areas). Decision support systems are expected to help the experts, the risk managers, the local authorities to take difficult decisions often based on imperfect information provided by more or less ...
