Case retrieval, case reuse and case retention are critical to the reasoning performance of the traditional case-based reasoning (CBR) model. In this paper, the integrated use of template reduction technology (TR), genetic algorithms (GA), nearest neighbor (NN) rules and group decision-making (GDM) establishes the CBR-GDM model. First, the TR method of the case base is introduced. Then, an attribute weights optimization using GA is discussed in the case retrieval phase. After that, a case reuse method is carried out with NN and GDM. Finally, 10 data sets from UCI are used to carry out a comparison experiment by 5-fold cross-validation. The classification accuracy rate and the classification efficiency are analyzed under the small samples, before and after the data reduction. The results show that, combined with TR, GA and GDM, the pattern classification performance by CBR can be improved.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a multi-criterion group decision-making (MCGDM) method by combining the regret theory and the Choquet integral under 2-tuple linguistic environment and apply the proposed method to deal with the supplier selection problem.Design/methodology/approachWhen making a decision, the decision-maker is more willing to choose the alternative(s) which is preferred by the experts so as to avoid the regret. At the same time, the correlative relationships among the criterion set can be sufficiently described by the fuzzy measures, later the evaluations of a group of criteria can be aggregated by means of the Choquet integral. Hence, the authors cope with the MCGDM problems by combining the regret theory and the Choquet integral, where the fuzzy measures of criteria are partly known or completely unknown and the evaluations are expressed by 2-tuples. The vertical and the horizontal regret-rejoice functions are defined at first. Then, a model aiming to determine the missing fuzzy measures is constructed. Based on which, an MCGDM method is proposed. The proposed method is applied to tackle a practical decision-making problem to verify its feasibility and the effectiveness.FindingsThe vertical and the horizontal regret-rejoice functions are defined. The relationships of the fuzzy measures are expressed by the sets. A model is built for determining the fuzzy measures. Based on which, an MCGDM method is proposed. The results show that the proposed method can solve the MCGDM problems within the context of 2-tuple, where the decision-maker avoids the regret and the criteria are correlative.Originality/valueThe paper proposes an MCGDM method by combining the regret theory and the Choquet integral, which is suitable for dealing with a variety of decision-making problems.
