An argument-dependent approach to determining OWA operator weights based on the rule of maximum entropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The methods for determining OWA operator weights have aroused wide attention. We first review the main existing methods for determining OWA operator weights. We next introduce the principle of maximum entropy for setting up probability distributions on the basis of partial knowledge and prove that Xu’s normal distribution-based method obeys the principle of maximum entropy. Finally, we propose an argument-dependent approach based on normal distribution, which assigns very low weights to these “false” or “biased” opinions and can relieve the influence of the unfair arguments. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed approach. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the Least Squared Ordered Weighted Averaging (LSOWA) Operator Weights
The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator by Yager has received more and more attention since its appearance. One key point in the OWA operator is to determine its associated weights. Among numerous methods that have appeared in the literature, we notice the maximum entropy OWA (MEOWA) weights that are determined by taking into account two appealing measures characterizing the OWA weights. ...

متن کاملA linear programming model for determining ordered weighted averaging operator weights with maximal Yager's entropy
It has a wide attention about the methods for determining OWA operator weights. At the beginning of this dissertation, we provide a briefly overview of the main approaches for obtaining the OWA weights with a predefined degree of orness. Along this line, we nextmake an important generalization of these approaches as a special case of the well-known andmore general problem of calculation of the ...
متن کاملIntuitionistic Fuzzy Dependent OWA Operator and Its Application
In this paper, we propose a novel approach, based on entropy and similarity measure of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, to determine weights of the IFOWA operator. Then we define a new intuitionistic fuzzy dependent OWA (IFDOWA) operator which is applied to handling multi-attribute group decision making problem with intuitionistic fuzzy information. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the rat...
متن کاملCross Efficiency Evaluation with Negative Data in Selecting the Best of Portfolio Using OWA Operator Weights
The present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios and asset selectionusing cross-efficiency evaluation. Cross-efficiency evaluation is an effective way of ranking decisionmaking units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Conventional DEA models assume nonnegativevalues for inputs and outputs. However, we know that unlike return and skewness, varianceis the on...
