Multicriteria analysis with fuzzy pairwise comparison
Open accessAbstract
Presents an approach for solving qualitative multicriteria analysis (MA) problems using fuzzy pairwise comparison. Fuzzy numbers are used to approximate the decision-maker's (DM's) subjective assessments in assessing alternative performance and criteria importance. The concept of fuzzy extent analysis is applied for solving the reciprocal judgement matrices. To avoid the complex and unreliable process of comparing fuzzy utilities, the /spl alpha/-cut technique is applied to transform the fuzzy performance matrix into an interval matrix. Incorporated with the DM's attitude towards risk, an overall performance index is obtained for each alternative across all criteria in line with the ideal solution concept. An empirical study of a tender selection problem in Australia is conducted. The result shows that the approach developed is simple and comprehensible in concept, efficient in computation, and robust and flexible in modeling the human evaluation process, thus making it of general use for solving practical MA problems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
