A New Method of Assessment Based on Fuzzy Ranking and Aggregated Weights (AFRAW) for MCDM Problems Under Type-2 Fuzzy Environment
Keshavarz Ghorabaee, Mehdi - 2017
Fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and problems have increasingly been considered in the past years. Type-1 fuzzy sets are usually used by decision-makers (DMs) to express their evaluations in the process of decision-making. Interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs), which are...
