The paper aims to build a hybrid personalized multicriteria model in the Indian transportation industry identify most feasible transport mode suitable for commuters’ customized preferences. A multicriterion model, i.e., Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), was used compute criteria weights, which were subsequently analyzed by three approaches, namely, Technique Order of Preference Similari...

In this paper I estimate the inflation risk premium (IRP) using a low- dimensional arbitrage free dynamic model through novel strategy. Instead of modeling nominal and real yields jointly, make assumptions about short-term rate. More specifically, assume it follows Gaussian process. This framework has closed-form expression for IRP. Since are not observed, to parameters approximate them by brea...

the main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (fmadm) model for appropriate location selection of a health center. therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. these criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. this paper proposes a method which combines th...
