A possibilistic graphical model for handling decision problems under uncertainty

چکیده
Possibilistic networks are important and efficient tools for reasoning under uncertainty. This paper proposes a new graphical model for decision making under uncertainty based on possibilistic networks. In possibilistic decision problems under uncertainty, available knowledge is expressed by means of possibility distribution and preferences are encoded by means another possibility distribution representing the qualitative utility. The first part of the paper proposes a new graphical way to represent such problem, where agent’s knowledge and preferences are encoded separately by two distinct possibilistic networks. The first one encodes agent’s beliefs and the second one represents the qualitative utility. The second part of the paper proposes a new algorithm for computing optimistic optimal decisions based on merging these two possibilistic networks. In fact, the qualitative possibilistic decision is viewed as a data fusion problem of these two particular possibilistic networks. We show that the computation of optimal decisions comes down to compute a normalization degree of the junction tree associated with the graph representing the fusion of agent’s beliefs and preferences.

Assessment of Green Supplier Development Programs by a New Group Decision-Making Model Considering Possibilistic Statistical Uncertainty
The assessment and selection of green supplier development programs are an intriguing and functional research subject. This paper proposes a group decision-making approach considering possibilistic statistical concepts under uncertainty to assess green supplier development programs (GSDPs) via interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs). Possibility theory is employed to regard uncertainty by IVFSs. A n...

متن کاملResilient Supplier Selection in a Supply Chain by a New Interval-Valued Fuzzy Group Decision Model Based on Possibilistic Statistical Concepts
Supplier selection is one the main concern in the context of supply chain networks by considering their global and competitive features. Resilient supplier selection as generally new idea has not been addressed properly in the literature under uncertain conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a new multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model is introduced with interval-valued fuzzy sets (I...
