چکیده
In this paper, normal cloud model and evidential reasoning (E-R) approach is used in multiple attribute decision analysis (MADA) problems. Different attributes Belief function are represented by cloud model interval. Using cloud model generating algorithm, belief degree interval is obtained without numerical computation. In addition, it is reasonable and it accords with human’s mind. Evidential reasoning algorithm is also used to incorporate different attributes interval in different ranks. Maximum and minimum in belief degree interval is computed by software. Then aggregative index number of attribute value is computed. Thing’s rank is decided by the index number. In the example, truck’s integrated performances are analysed. Simulation results further illustrate the effectiveness of the design method.

This paper reports the application of an evidential reasoning approach to design selection of retro-fit options for complex engineering products. The particular selection problem investigated in this paper is initially modelled by means of techno-economic analysis and may be viewed as a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem with a hierarchical structure of attributes which may be me...
متن کاملAn Evidential Reasoning Approach for Multiple- Attribute Decision Making with Uncertainty
A new evidential reasoning based approach is proposed that may be used to deal with uncertain decision knowledge in multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) problems with both quantitative and qualitative attributes. This approach is based on an evaluation analysis model and the evidence combination rule of the Dempster-Shafer theory. It is akin to a preference modeling approach, comprising an...
