MADM method based on prospect theory and evidential reasoning approach with unknown attribute weights under intuitionistic fuzzy environment

This paper proposes an intuitionistic fuzzy decision method based on prospect theory and the evidential reasoning approach, aiming at analyzing multi-attribute decision making problems in which the criteria values are intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the information of attributes weights is unknown. Firstly, the measures of entropy and cross entropy are defined for intuitionistic fuzzy sets by taking into consideration the preference of decision maker towards hesitancy degree. Secondly, combined with bounded rationality, the prospect decision matrix is calculated in the light of prospect theory and intuitionistic fuzzy distance. Thirdly, the correlational analyses are conducted between the attribute weights and three indicators which are entropy, cross entropy and prospect value, and optimization models for identifying attribute weights are built under the circumstances that the weights are incomplete and unknown. Finally, in order to avoid the loss of decision making information, the evidential reasoning approach is applied to the calculation of comprehensive prospective values for all alternatives. Following the value calculation, the ranking and the optimal alternative are determined based on the comprehensive prospective values. Illustrating examples demonstrate that the proposed method is reasonable and feasible.     

An interactive method for fuzzy multiple attribute group decision making

In this paper, we develop an interactive method for multiple attribute group decision making under fuzzy environment. The method can be used in situations where the information about attribute weights is partly known, the weights of decision makers are expressed in exact numerical values or triangular fuzzy numbers, and the attribute values are triangular fuzzy numbers. The method transforms fuzzy decision matrices into their expected decision matrices, constructs the corresponding normalized expected decision matrices by two simple formulas, and then aggregates these normalized expected decision matrices into a complex decision matrix. Moreover, the decision makers are asked to provide their preferences gradually in the course of interactions. By solving linear programming models, the method diminishes the given alternative set gradually, and finally finds the most preferred alternative. By using the method, the decision makers can provide and modify their preference information gradually in the process of decision making so as to make the decision result more reasonable. The method can not only reflect the importance of the given arguments and the ordered positions of the arguments, but also relieve the influence of unfair arguments on the decision result. Finally, a practical problem is used to illustrate the developed method.

An approach for multiple attribute group decision making problems with interval-valued intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

This article proposes an approach to resolve multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with interval-valued intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (IVITFNs). We first introduce the cut set of IVITFNs and investigate the attitudinal score and accuracy expected functions for IVITFNs. Their novelty is that they allow the comparison of IVITFNs by taking into accounting of the experts’ risk attitude. Based on these expected functions, a ranking method for IVITFNs is proposed and a ranking sensitivity analysis method with respect to the risk attitude is developed. To aggregate the information with IVITFNs, we study the desirable properties of the interval-valued intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy weighted geometric (IVITFWG) operator, the interval-valued intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (IVITFOWG) operator, and the interval-valued intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy hybrid geometric (IVITFHG) operator. It is worth noting that the aggregated value by using these operators is also an interval-valued intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy value. Then, based on these expected functions and aggregating operators, an approach is proposed to solve MAGDM problems in which the attribute values take the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the expert weights take the form of real numbers. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Some induced geometric aggregation operators with intuitionistic fuzzy information and their application to group decision making

With respect to multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers or interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, some new group decision making analysis methods are developed. Firstly, some operational laws, score function and accuracy function of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers or interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. Then two new aggregation operators: induced intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (I-IFOWG) operator and induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (I-IIFOWG) operator are proposed, and some desirable properties of the I-IFOWG and I-IIFOWG operators are studied, such as commutativity, idempotency and monotonicity. An I-IFOWG and IFWG (intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric) operators-based approach is developed to solve the MAGDM problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Further, we extend the developed models and procedures based on I-IIFOWG and IIFWG (interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric) operators to solve the MAGDM problems in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights take the form of real numbers, attribute values take the form of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Finally, some illustrative examples are given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

A mathematical programming approach to multi-attribute decision making with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy assessment information

This article proposes an approach to handle multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems under the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment, in which both assessments of alternatives on attributes (hereafter, referred to as attribute values) and attribute weights are provided as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs). The notion of relative closeness is extended to interval values to accommodate IVIFN decision data, and fractional programming models are developed based on the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to determine a relative closeness interval where attribute weights are independently determined for each alternative. By employing a series of optimization models, a quadratic program is established for obtaining a unified attribute weight vector, whereby the individual IVIFN attribute values are aggregated into relative closeness intervals to the ideal solution for final ranking. An illustrative supplier selection problem is employed to demonstrate how to apply the proposed procedure.

A method to aggregate crisp values into interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information for group decision making

Owing to the increasing complexity in modern society, aggregating group's knowledge and experiences to make an appropriate decision is an important research topic. The aim of this article is to present a soft computing model for multiple attribute group decision-making problems. This model aggregates all individual decisions on an attribute into an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (IVIFN), in which each individual decision as an attribute value is expressed in crisp value. Furthermore, we obtain a collective decision matrix, in which the attribute values are expressed by the aggregated IVIFNs. Then make a decision under intuitionistic fuzzy environment. To illustrate the decision process of the developed approach, we give an example for supplier selection and a sensitivity analysis with different attribute weights. Finally, we show a comparison with another group decision-making method from relevant literature.

Linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making method based on VIKOR

Linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy set, which allows an element having several linguistic evaluation values and each linguistic argument having several intuitionistic fuzzy memberships, is a power tool to model uncertain information existing in multiple attribute decision-making problems. In this paper, we propose new methods by using TOPSIS and VIKOR for multiple attribute decision-making problems, in which evaluation values are in the form of linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy elements. Different situations of attribute weight information are considered. If attribute weights are partly known, a linear programming model is set up based on the idea that reasonable weights should make the relative closeness of each alternative evaluation value to the linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy positive ideal solution as large as possible. If attribute weights are unknown completely, an optimization model is set up based on the maximum deviation method. A numerical example is presented to illustrate feasibility and practical advantages of the proposed method. We compare the alternatives’ rankings derived from the linguistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method with those derived from the hesitant fuzzy linguistic TOPSIS and the hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS approach to further illustrate their advantages.

An approach to multiattribute decision making with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy assessments and incomplete weights

This article proposes an approach to multiattribute decision making with incomplete attribute weight information where individual assessments are provided as interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs). By employing a series of optimization models, the proposed approach derives a linear program for determining attribute weights. The weights are subsequently used to synthesize individual IVIFN assessments into an aggregated IVIFN value for each alternative. In order to rank alternatives based on their aggregated IVIFN values, a novel method is developed for comparing two IVIFNs by introducing two new functions: the membership uncertainty index and the hesitation uncertainty index. An illustrative investment decision problem is employed to demonstrate how to apply the proposed procedure and comparative studies are conducted to show its overall consistency with existing approaches.     

Research on the multi-attribute decision-making under risk with interval probability based on prospect theory and the uncertain linguistic variables

With respect to risk decision making problems with interval probability in which the attribute values take the form of the uncertain linguistic variables, a multi-attribute decision making method based on prospect theory is proposed. To begin with, the uncertain linguistic variables can be transformed into the trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the prospect value function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number based on the decision-making reference point of each attribute and the weight function of interval probability can be constructed; then the prospect value of attribute for every alternative is calculated through prospect value function of the trapezoidal fuzzy number and the weight function of interval probability, and the weighted prospect value of alternative is acquired by using weighted average method according to attribute weights, and all the alternatives are sorted according to the expected values of the weighted prospect values; Finally, an illustrate example is given to show the decision-making steps, the influence on decision making for different parameters of value function and different decision-making reference point, and the feasibility of the method.
