Most of data in a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem are unstable and changeable, then sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. This paper provides a new method for sensitivity analysis of MADM problems so that by using it and changing the weights of attributes, one can determine changes in the final results of a decision ma...

Most of data in a multi attribute decision making (MADM) problem are unstable and changeable, and thus sensitivity analysis can effectively contribute to making proper decisions. Here, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis of multi-attribute decision making problems so that by changing one element of decision making matrix, we can determine changes in the results of a decision making p...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) in uncertain linguistic setting where the information about attribute weights is incompletely known and the attribute values are uncertain linguistic variables, and the decision maker (DM) has preferences on alternatives. We establish two optimization models, which minimize deviations between the overall attribute valu...

most of data in multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems are changeable rather than constant and stable. therefore, sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. in this paper, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis in multi-attribute decision making problems in which if the weights of one attribute changes, then we can deter...

A new evidential reasoning based approach is proposed that may be used to deal with uncertain decision knowledge in multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) problems with both quantitative and qualitative attributes. This approach is based on an evaluation analysis model and the evidence combination rule of the Dempster-Shafer theory. It is akin to a preference modeling approach, comprising an...

Similarity measure is an important tool to measure the degree of resemblance between two intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper, in order to overcome the counter-intuitive in some cases, a new similarity measure of intuitionistic fuzzy sets is constructed and successively applied in pattern recognition and medical diagnosis. Based on the proposed similarity measure, a new decision making meth...

Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) refers to the problem of selecting among alternatives associated with multiple, usually conflicting, attributes. Based on incomplete preference information on alternatives given by the Decision Maker (DM), this paper proposes an mathematical programming approach to solve the MADM problem. To reflect the DM’s preference information, an optimization model...

Based on the additive multi-attribute value model for multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, this paper investigates how the set of attribute weights (or weight-set thereafter) is determined according to preference orders of alternatives given by decision makers. The weight-set is a bounded convex polyhedron and can be written as a convex combination of the extreme points. We give ...
