Analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) is a method to formulate the strategy. Although the SWOT analysis successfully provides the key factors of the problem, it has some drawbacks in selecting appropriate strategy for the evaluation and final decision steps. During recent years, some multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques such as analytic hierarchy pro...

[naeini1] in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fuzzy multi-objective linear programming problems (fmolpp) with fuzzy right hand side and fuzzy decision variables. due to the imprecise nature of available resources, determination of a definitive solution to the model seems impossible. therefore, the proposed model is designed in order to make fuzzy decisi...

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

Facility location decision is basically viewed as a long-term strategy, so the inherited uncertainty of main parameters ought to be taken into account in order to make models applicable. In this paper, we examine the impact of uncertain transportation costs and customers' demands on the choice of optimal location decisions and allocation plans. This leads to the formulation of the facility loca...

The multi-attribute decision making problem engages in the propagation of information, which often is highly uncertain or imprecise. Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) belongs to the family of feed-forward networks with a single linear trainable layer. CMAC has the feature of fast learning, and is suitable for modeling any non-linear relationship. Combining fuzzy linguistic semanti...

We interpret fuzzy multiple objective linear programming (FMOLP) problems with fuzzy coefficients and fuzzy inequality relations as multiple fuzzy reasoning schemes (MFR), where the antecedents of the scheme correspond to the constraints of the FMOLP problem and the facts of the scheme are the objectives of the FMOLP problem. Then the solution process consists of two steps: first, for every dec...

Abstract— In this paper, a new extended method of multi criteria decision making based on fuzzy-Topsis theory is introduced. fuzzy mcdm algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. Using a new index leads to procedure for choosing fuzzy ideal and negative ideal solutions directly from the fuzzy data observed alternatives.in this...

The purpose of this paper is to provide an algorithm for the motion picture companies to evaluate the key capabilities from firm viewpoint under fuzzy environment. The fundamental concepts we have adopted include the eigenvector method, fuzzy Delphi method, fuzzy set theory, and multi-criteria decision making method. With the concept of balanced scorecard and the interviewing managers of motion...

Feature subset selection has become an important challenge in areas of pattern recognition, machine learning and data mining. As different semantics are hidden in numerical and categorical features, there are two strategies for selecting hybrid attributes: discretizing numerical variables or numericalize categorical features. In this paper, we introduce a simple and efficient hybrid attribute r...

I N T R O D U C T I O N It is well known that fuzzy inference is a theoretical foundation of fuzzy control systems and fuzzy expert systems. At present, general fuzzy inference methods include the CRI (compositional rules of inference) method, (+,-)-centroid method, simple inferen...
