The concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set can be reconsidered as an approach for defining a fuzzy set In cases where the available information is not enough to define an inaccurate concept of an ordinary fuzzy set. In sum, the theory of fuzzy sets is generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It seems that quantitative research on multiattribute or multi-criteria decision making problems have been...

Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set and the ranking of TIFNs is an important problem. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TIFNs by using multiattribute decision making methods (MADM). In this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of TIFNs may be considered as the attributes and the TIFNs in compa...

Conflict and choice are closely related in that choice produces conflict and conflict is resolved by making a choice. Although conflict was invoked in psychological approaches to decision making early on (Lewin, 1931/1964), no generally accepted measure of conflict strength has been established (Tversky & Shafir, 1992). The present study introduces a model (multiattribute decision field theory)...

Title of dissertation: UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION USE IN MULTIATTRIBUTE DECISION MAKING Jeffrey S. Chrabaszcz, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Michael R. Dougherty Department of Psychology An inference task in one in which some known set of information is used to produce an estimate about an unknown quantity. Existing theories of how humans make inferences include ...

We present the development o f five fuzzy multiattribute decision-making methods. These methods are based on the analytic hierarchy process (original and ideal mode), the weighted-sum model, the weighted-product model, and the TOPSlS method. Moreover, these methods are examined in terms of two evaluative criteria. Computational results on test problems suggest that although all the methods are ...

A new approach is proposed for addressing decision problems in which the outcomes are multidimensional and possibly interdependent. The method is based on decomposing the problem into a sequence of simpler decision problems. The solution to each subproblem is elicited from the decisionmaker by converting it to a simple resource allocation task that may be solved by inspection. Our experience in...

A number of approaches for multiattribute selection decisions exist, each with certain advantages and disadvantages. One method that has recently been developed, called the Hypothetical Equivalents and Inequivalents Method (HEIM) supports a decision maker (DM) by implicitly determining the importances a DM places on attributes using a series of simple preference statements. In this and other mu...
