Prioritized aggregation operators based on the priority degrees in multicriteria decision-making

We consider the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems where there exists a prioritization relationship over the criteria. We introduce the concept of the priority degree. Then we give three kinds of prioritized aggregation operators based on the priority degrees: the prioritized averaging operator with the priority degrees, the prioritized scoring operator with the priority degrees, and the prioritized ordered weighted averaging operator with the priority degrees. Some desired properties of these prioritized aggregation operators are also investigated. The priority degree plays an important role in the prioritized MCDM problems. We also investigate how to select a proper priority degree according to the giving decision information. By using an illustrative example, we show that the prioritized aggregation operators based on the priority degrees provide the decision-makers more choices and they are more flexible in the process of decision-making.

Prioritized multi-criteria decision making based on preference relations

There may exist priority relationships among criteria in multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. This kind of problems, which we focus on in this paper, are called prioritized MCDM ones. In order to aggregate the evaluation values of criteria for an alternative, we first develop some weighted prioritized aggregation operators based on triangular norms (t-norms) together with the weights of criteria by extending the prioritized aggregation operators proposed by Yager (Yager, R. R. (2004). Modeling prioritized multi-criteria decision making. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 34, 2396–2404). After discussing the influence of the concentration degrees of the evaluation values with respect to each criterion to the priority relationships, we further develop a method for handling the prioritized MCDM problems. Through a simple example, we validate that this method can be used in more wide situations than the existing prioritized MCDM methods. At length, the relationships between the weights associated with criteria and the preference relations among alternatives are explored, and then two quadratic programming models for determining weights based on multiplicative and fuzzy preference relations are developed.     

Prioritized aggregation operators of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy sets and their application to multicriteria decision-making

A trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy set, some operational laws, score and accuracy functions for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy values are presented in this paper. Then, the trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized weighted averaging (TIFPWA) operator and trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized weighted geometric (TIFPWG) operator are proposed to aggregate the trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy information. Furthermore, a multicriteria decision-making method based on the TIFPWA and TIFPWG operators and the score and accuracy functions of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy values is established to deal with the multicriteria decision-making problem in which the criteria are in different priority level. Finally, a practical example about software selection for considering various prioritized relationships between the criteria of decision-making is given to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.     

Multiattribute group decision-making based on Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein prioritized aggregation operators

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is a powerful tool to deal with the imprecision and vagueness. Many aggregation operators have been proposed by many researchers based on PFSs. But the existing methods are under the hypothesis that the decision-makers (DMs) and the attributes are at the same priority level. However, in real group decision-making problems, the attribute and DMs may have different priority level. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) based on PFSs where there exists a prioritization relationship over the attributes and DMs. First we develop Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein prioritized weighted average operator and Pythagorean fuzzy Einstein prioritized weighted geometric operator. We study some of its desirable properties such as idempotency, boundary, and monotonicity in detail. Moreover we propose a MAGDM approach based on the developed operators under Pythagorean fuzzy environment. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to illustrate the practicality of the proposed approach.     

A NEW METHOD FOR HANDLING MULTICRITERIA FUZZY DECISION-MAKING PROBLEMS USING FN-IOWA OPERATORS

We use fuzzy numbers to extend the traditional induced ordered weight averaging (IOWA) operator to present the fuzzy-number IOWA (FN-IOWA) operator, wherein fuzzy numbers are used to describe the argument values and the weights of the FN-IOWA operator, and the aggregation results are obtained by using fuzzy-number arithmetic operations. We also present a new method for ranking fuzzy numbers. Based on the proposed FN-IOWA operator and the proposed ranking method of fuzzy numbers, we present a new algorithm to deal with multicriteria fuzzy decision-making problems. The proposed algorithm can deal with multicriteria fuzzy decision-making problems in a more intelligent and more flexible manner.     

Fuzzy Generalized Prioritized Weighted Average Operator and its Application to Multiple Attribute Decision Making

The prioritized weighted average (PWA) operator was originally introduced by Yager. The prominent characteristic of the PWA operator is that it takes into account prioritization among attributes and decision makers. By combining the idea of generalized mean and PWA operator, we propose a new prioritized aggregation operator called fuzzy generalized prioritized weighted average (FGPWA) operator for aggregating triangular fuzzy numbers. The properties of the new aggregation operator are studied out and their special cases are examined. Furthermore, based on the FGPWA operator, an approach to deal with multiple attribute group decision making problems under triangular fuzzy environments is developed. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the multiple attribute group decision making process.     

Multi-criteria group decision making based on trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy information

With respect to multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problems under trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy environment, a new MCGDM method is investigated. The proposed method can effectively avoid the failure caused by the use of inconsistent decision information and provides a decision-making idea for the case of “the truth be held in minority”. It consists of three interrelated modules: weight determining mechanism, group consistency analysis, and ranking and selection procedure. For the first module, distance measures, expected values and arithmetic averaging operator for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to determine the weight values of criteria and decision makers. For the second module, a consistency analysis and correction procedure based on trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging operator and OWA operator is developed to reduce the influence of conflicting opinions prior to the ranking process. For the third module, a trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS is used for ranking and selection. Then a procedure for the proposed MCGDM method is developed. Finally, a numerical example further illustrates the practicality and efficiency of the proposed method.

Intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet integral operator for multi-criteria decision making

For the real decision making problems, most criteria have inter-dependent or interactive characteristics so that it is not suitable for us to aggregate them by traditional aggregation operators based on additive measures. Thus, to approximate the human subjective decision making process, it would be more suitable to apply fuzzy measures, where it is not necessary to assume additivity and independence among decision making criteria. In this paper, an intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet integral is proposed for multiple criteria decision making, where interactions phenomena among the decision making criteria are considered. First, we introduced two operational laws on intuitionistic fuzzy values. Then, based on these operational laws, intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet integral operator is proposed. Moreover, some of its properties are investigated. It is shown that the intuitionistic fuzzy Choquet integral operator can be represented by some special t-norms and t-conorms, and it is also a generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy OWA operator and intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging operator.
