Amongst the many international rankings, Shanghai ranking has been particularly influential. Although this ranking’s primary data generally accessible its methods published in outline format, it does not follow that outputs predictable or straightforward. In practice, annual time series ...

In our previous study, focusing on a ranking determination, we developed two ranking models. The foundation of these ranking models is derived from either one of the two ranking methods, denoted by Ranking (I) and Ranking (II), that were proposed in our previous papers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mathematical structure in the process of generating Ranking (I) and Ranking (II) i...

data envelopment analysis (dea) technique now widely use for efficiency evaluation of a set of decision making units (dmus). as regards of the necessity for ranking efficient units different dea models presented each of which has advantages and rank efficient units from special aspects. note that all the existing ranking models have disadvantages, as well and there is not a model in which all t...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...
