Naturalness Mapping of Fereydounshahr County with Respect to Ecotourism, Using Ordered Weighted Averaging Operator

Approval voting is a well-known voting procedure used, among others, for electing committees, where each voter casts a ballot consisting of a set of approved candidates (without any cardinality constraint). Two prominent rules for electing committees using approval voting are the standard rule (also called minisum), which selects the set of candidates (possibly subject to some cardinality const...

We develop a new decision making model by using distance measures, weighted averages and OWA operators. We introduce the induced ordered weighted averaging – weighted averaging distance (IOWAWAD) operator. We study some of its main properties and particular cases such as the weighted Hamming distance, the induced OWA distance (IOWAD), the arithmetic weighted distance and the arithmetic IOWAD op...

The Reference Point Method (RPM) is an interactive technique formalizing the so-called quasi-satisficing approach to multiple criteria optimization. The DM’s preferences are there specified in terms of reference (target) levels for several criteria. The reference levels are further used to build the scalarizing achievement function which generates an efficient solution when optimized. Typical R...

We investigate the aggregation phase of multicriteria decision making procedures. Characterizations of some classes of nonconventional aggregation operators are established. The first class consists of the ordered weighted averaging operators (OWA) introduced by Yager. The second class corresponds to the weighted maximum defined by Dubois and Prade. The dual class (weighted minimum) and some or...

The Minkowski distance is a distance measure that generalizes a wide range of other distances such as the Hamming and the Euclidean distance. In this paper, we develop a generalization of the Minkowski distance by using the induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operator. We will call it the induced Minkowski OWA distance (IMOWAD). Then, we are able to obtain a wider range of distance measur...

this paper will introduce a new method to obtain the order weightsof the ordered weighted averaging (owa) operator. we will first show therelation between fuzzy quantifiers and neat owa operators and then offer anew combination of them. fuzzy quantifiers are applied for soft computingin modeling the optimism degree of the decision maker. in using neat operators,the ordering of the inputs is not...
