Multi Attribute Decision Making

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets can describe the uncertainty and complexity of the world flexibly, so it has been widely used in multi-attribute decision making. Traditional intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are usually based on the probability measure, namely, they consider that the attributes of objects are independent. But in actual situations, it is difficult to ensure the independence of attributes, so these operators are unsuitable in such situations. Fuzzy measure is able to depict the relationships among the attributes more comprehensively, so it can complement the traditional probability measure in dealing with the multi-attribute decision making problems. In this paper, we first analyze the existing intuitionistic fuzzy operators based on fuzzy measure, then introduce two novel additive intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators based on the Shapley value and the Choquet integral, respectively, and show their advantages over other ones.

States Of Nature

In this paper, new generalizations of the probabilistic averaging operator — Associated Fuzzy Probabilistic Averaging (As-PA and As-FPA) and Immediate Probabilistic Fuzzy Ordered Weighted Averaging (As-IP-OWA and As-IP-FOWA) operators are presented in the environment of fuzzy uncertainty. An uncertainty is presented by associated probabilities of a fuzzy measure. Expert’s evaluations as arguments of the aggregation operators are described by a variable, values of which are compatibility levels on the states of nature defined in positive real or triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). Two propositions on the As-FPA operator are proved: (1) The As-FPA operator for the fuzzy measure — capacity of order two coincides with the finite Choquet Averaging (CA) Operator; (2) the As-FPA operator coincides with the FPA operator when a probability measure is used in the role of a fuzzy measure. Analogous propositions for the As-IP-FOWA operator are proved. Some propositions on the connection of the As-FPA and As-IP-FOWA operators are also proved. Information measures — Orness and Divergence for the constructed operators are defined. Some propositions on the connections of these parameters with the corresponding parameters of the finite CA Operator are proved. Two illustrative examples on the applicability of the As-FPA and As-IP-FOWA operators are presented: (1) Several variants of the As-FPA and As-IP-FOWA operators are used for comparison of decision-making results for the problems regarding the fiscal policy of a country; (2) The As-FPA operator is used in the Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problem of choosing the best version of the students’ project.

Development Risks

New family of intuitionistic fuzzy operators for aggregation of information on interactive criteria/attributes in Multi-Criteria/attributes Decision Making (MCDM/MADM) problems are constructed. New aggregations are based on the Choquet integral and the associated probability class of a fuzzy measure. Propositions on the correctness of the extension are presented. Connections between the operators and the compositions of dual triangular norms [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are described. The conjugate connections between the constructed operators are considered. It is known that when interactions between criteria/attributes are strong, aggregation operators based on Choquet integral reflect these interactions at a certain degree, but these operators consider only consonant structure of criteria/attributes. New operators reflect interactions among all the combinations of the criteria/attributes in the fuzzy MCDM/MADM process. Several variants of new operators are used in the decision making problem regarding the assessment of software development risks.
