The web contains huge amount of information and most of the user access internet for information retrieval. But, most of the time user gets irrelevant results on search engine after firing any query. So, for better accuracy and relevant results according to user requiremen...

There are several methods for Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) such as multiple attribute utility theory (MAUT), the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP. However, these methods are compensatory optimization approaches for which bad score on some criteria can be compensated by excellent scores on other criteria. So, the Elimination and Choice Translating Reality III (ELECTRE I...

Many applications in information retrieval, natural language processing, data mining, and related fields require a ranking of instances with respect to a specified criteria as opposed to a classification. Furthermore, for many such problems, multiple established ranking models have been well studied and it is desirable to combine their results into a joint ranking, a formalism denoted as rank a...

Comparing distribution functions is a key task in descriptive research and policy evaluation. In many applications, a reasonable refinement of second-degree stochastic dominance criterion is necessary to attain unambigous ranking of intersecting distribution functions. Although the literature offers dominance criteria of third or higher degree, these ranking criteria are rarely used because the...

abstract: although all university majors are prominent and the necessity of their presences is of no question, they might not have the same priority basis considering different resources and strategies that could be spotted for a country. this paper focuses on clustering and ranking university majors in iran. to do so, a model is presented to clarify the procedure. eight different criteria are ...

As regards of the necessity of ranking efficient units different Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models are introduced. Each of the existing models has advantages and deals with ranking efficient units from special aspects. But, there exist no model has all these benefits in a unified manner. The aim of this paper is to present a new ranking method which can incorporate, to a great extent, adva...
