Objective Weights Based on Ordered Fuzzy Numbers for Fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision-Making Methods

SUMMARY

Fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (FMCDM) methods are techniques of finding the trade-off option out of all feasible alternatives that are characterized by multiple criteria and where data cannot be measured precisely, but can be represented, for instance, by ordered fuzzy numbers (OFNs). One of the main steps in FMCDM methods consist in finding the appropriate criteria weights. A method based on the concept of Shannon entropy is one of many techniques for the determination of criteria weights when obtaining them from the decision-maker is not possible. The goal of the paper is to extend the notion of Shannon entropy to fuzzy data represented by OFNs. The proposed approach allows to obtain criteria weights as OFNs, which are normalized and sum to 1.
