The uncertain OWA operator

Abstract

The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator was introduced by Yager 1 to provide a method for aggregating several inputs that lie between the max and min operators. In this article, we investigate the uncertain OWA operator in which the associated weighting parameters cannot be specified, but value ranges can be obtained and each input argument is given in the form of an interval of numerical values. The problem of ranking a set of interval numbers and obtaining the weights associated with the uncertain OWA operator is studied.

Isomorphic Multiplicative Transitivity for Intuitionistic and Interval-Valued Fuzzy Preference Relations and Its Application in Deriving Their Priority Vectors

“…The associated LOP2 problem derives the following priority vector is (using MATLAB) [w Applying the possibility degree (PD) to measure the ordering relation between two interval-valued numbers [35], P (a 1 a 2 ) = max 1 − max Using the arithmetic mean operator the following crisp priority vector is obtained: w 1 = 0.3175; w 2 = 0.8750; w 3 = 0.1825; w 4 = 0.6250. Thus, the final ranking of alternatives is A 2 A 4 A 1 A 3 and the best green supplier is A 2 .…”

The Interval Cognitive Network Process for Multi-Attribute Decision-Making

“…For the sake of brevity, we denote the feasible region-based method as I-CNP_FR and the transitivity based method as I-CNP_T. To compare two interval numbers, we adopt the method proposed by Xu et al [64]. Let a = [a − , a + ] and b = [b − , b + ] be two interval numbers.…”

“…Let a = [a − , a + ] and b = [b − , b + ] be two interval numbers. The degree of possibility that a ≥ b is defined as [64]:…”

A social network analysis trust–consensus based approach to group decision-making problems with interval-valued fuzzy reciprocal preference relations

“…Given two interval numbers a 1 = [a [48] proposed the following possibility degree (PD) to measure the degree up to which the ordering relation a 1 a 2 holds:…”
