Essentials of Decision Making under Generalized Uncertainty1

نویسنده

چکیده

One of the essential characteristics of a decision-making situation is the amount and quality of information that the decision maker has available at the onset of the problem. Luce and Raiffa [1958, p.13] developed a three-tiered classification of decision making based on the amount of knowledge, or information, possessed by the decision maker. If full knowledge regarding options, outcomes, and the various states of the world is available, the task of making a decision becomes a straightforward process of selecting the action whose outcome maximizes the decision criteria. Completely deterministic problems of this nature are classified as "decision making under certainty". The solution procedure involves the evaluation and optimization of the decision criteria, such as maximizing a utility function or minimizing a loss function.

Generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher generalized Shapley Choquet integral operators for multicriteria decision making

The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) which is an extension of the Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set is a powerful tool for modeling real life decision making problems. In this paper, we propose the emph{generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher generalized Shapley Choquet integral} (GIVIFHGSCI) and the emph{interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher general...

Group Generalized Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Soft Sets and Their Applications in\ Decision Making

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are widely used to handle uncertainty and imprecision in decision making. However, in more complicated environment, it is difficult to express the uncertain information by an IVIFS with considering the decision-making preference. Hence, this paper proposes a group generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (G-GIVIFSS) which conta...

An improved similarity measure of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and its application in multi-attribute group decision making

Generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (GTFNs) have been widely applied in uncertain decision-making problems. The similarity between GTFNs plays an important part in solving such problems, while there are some limitations in existing similarity measure methods. Thus, based on the cosine similarity, a novel similarity measure of GTFNs is developed which is combined with the concepts of geometric...
