Decision making problem is the process of finding the best option out of all feasible alternatives. There are some methods for solving Multiple Criteria Decision-Making problems and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) is one of the most popular ones. In this paper, among multi-criteria models in making complex decisions and multiple attribute models for the most preferable choice, SAW technique is extended using interval numbers. For this purpose, we first propose a method for extending Entropy method for dealing with interval data, and then the extended SAW method with interval data is proposed by using the interval weights derived by the proposed interval Entropy method. The extended SAW method is an algorithm to determine the most preferable choice out of all possible choices, when the input data are stated in interval.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
