Locating a disinfection facility for hazardous healthcare waste in the COVID-19 era: a novel approach based on Fermatean fuzzy ITARA-MARCOS and random forest recursive feature elimination algorithm

Abstract: Hazardous healthcare waste (HCW) management system is one of the most critical urban systems affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the increase in waste generation rate in hospitals and medical centers dealing with infected patients as well as the degree of hazardousness of generated waste due to exposure to the virus. In this regard, waste network flow would face severe problems without taking care of hazardous waste through disinfection facilities. For this purpose, this study aims to develop an advanced … Show more

“…For this purpose, MABAC can be improved by an extension under extended Z-numbers (Tian et al, 2021) where experts' judgments on the decision-makers' opinions are considered in the decision-making process for more reliable and robust solutions. Another important future direction is related to the integration of the MABAC method with big data tools in order to develop big data decision support systems for various complex problems (Maghsoodi et al, 2023;Simic et al, 2022). Finally, the integration of the MABAC method with probabilistic linguistic information is anticipated to be investigated since it is natural for decision-makers to employ probabilistic linguistic information .…”

“…For future work, ensemble learning [65], [66] could be considered to improve the accuracy and robustness of a decision-making system by combining the outputs of multiple models. In addition, state-of-art feature selection technologies [67]- [69] could be applied to reduce the dimensionality of the dataset, simplify the model, and improve its accuracy and generalization ability.…”

“…The decisionmaking process in this method primarily relies on the concept of utility function. The utility function can be conceptualized as an alternative perspective linked to optimal and suboptimal solutions [16,17]. Hence, the optimal selection is the option that exhibits the greatest proximity to the ideal point, thereby resulting in the greatest distance from the anti-ideal point.…”
