Representing Uncertainty in Ranking by Single or Multiple Indicators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ranking a set of measurements, or ranking a set of model outputs, is a generic task for decision support. In the case of multiple indicators, a composite index is often defined. However, as Patil and Taillie (2004) point out, “every such composite involves judgements (often arbitrary or controversial) about tradeoffs or substitutability among indicators.” These concerns are addressed by the concept of partial order.

A New Balancing and Ranking Method based on Hesitant Fuzzy Sets for Solving Decision-making Problems under Uncertainty
The purpose of this paper is to extend a new balancing and ranking method to handle uncertainty for a multiple attribute analysis under a hesitant fuzzy environment. The presented hesitant fuzzy balancing and ranking (HF-BR) method does not require attributes’ weights through the process of multiple attribute decision making (MADM) under hesitant conditions. For the rating of possible alternati...
متن کاملA novel ranking method for intuitionistic fuzzy set based on information fusion and application to threat assessment
A novel ranking method based on multi-time information fusion is proposed for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and applied to the threat assessment problem, a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) one. This method integrates a designed intuitionistic fuzzy entropy (IFE), the closeness degree of technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), the decision maker¡¯s (DM¡¯...
متن کاملUncertainty assessment of the road safety index
Composite indicators aggregate domain-specific information in one index, on the basis of which countries can be assigned a relative ranking. Recently, the road safety community got convinced of the policy supporting role of indicators in terms of benchmarking, target setting and selection of measures. However, combining the information of a set of relevant risk indicators in one index presentin...
متن کاملRandom variation and rankability of hospitals using outcome indicators.
OBJECTIVE There is a growing focus on quality and safety in healthcare. Outcome indicators are increasingly used to compare hospital performance and to rank hospitals, but the reliability of ranking (rankability) is under debate. This study aims to quantify the rankability of several outcome indicators of hospital performance currently used by the Dutch government. METHODS From 52 indicators ...
متن کاملInterval network data envelopment analysis model for classification of investment companies in the presence of uncertain data
The main purpose of this paper is to propose an approach for performance measurement, classification and ranking the investment companies (ICs) by considering internal structure and uncertainty. In order to reach this goal, the interval network data envelopment analysis (INDEA) models are extended. This model is capable to model two-stage efficiency with intermediate measures i...
