Ranking generalized fuzzy numbers in fuzzy decision making based on the left and right transfer coefficients and areas

Although a number of recent studies have proposed ranking fuzzy numbers based on the deviation degree, most of them have exhibited several shortcomings associated with non-discriminative and counter-intuitive problems. In fact, none of the existing deviation degree methods has guaranteed consistencies between the ranking of fuzzy numbers and that of their images under all situations. They have also ignored decision maker’s attitude toward risk, which significantly influences final ranking result. To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, this study proposes a new approach for ranking fuzzy numbers that ensures full consideration for all information of fuzzy numbers. Accordingly, an overall ranking index is obtained by the integration of the information from the left and the right (LR) areas between fuzzy numbers, the centroid points of fuzzy numbers and the decision maker’s attitude toward risk. This new method is efficient for evaluating generalized fuzzy numbers and distinguishing symmetric fuzzy numbers. It also overcomes the shortcomings of the existing approaches based on deviation degree. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the superiority of the proposed approach. Lastly, a new fuzzy MCDM approach for generalized fuzzy numbers is proposed based on the proposed ranking approach and the concept of generalized fuzzy numbers. The proposed fuzzy MCDM approach does not require the normalization process and thus avoids the loss of information results from transforming generalized fuzzy numbers to normal form.     

Selecting IS personnel use fuzzy GDSS based on metric distance method

In this paper we propose a new approach to rank fuzzy numbers by metric distance. For showing our method is a good ranking method, we give two examples to compare with other methods. The paper also developes a computer-based group decision support system, FMCGDSS, to increase the recruiting productivity and to easily compare our method with other fuzzy number ranking methods. The FMCGDSS includes three ranking methods: intuition ranking, Lee and Li's fuzzy mean/spread and our metric distance method to help manager make better decision under fuzzy circumstance. The result indicates that the new method is coincident with the intuition ranking and the Lee and Li's fuzzy mean/spread method on each type weight.     

Ranking fuzzy numbers with an area method using circumcenter of centroids

This paper proposes a new method for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the area between circumcenter of centroids of a fuzzy number and the origin. The proposed method not only uses an index of optimism, which reflects the decision maker’s optimistic attitude but also makes use of an index of modality which represents the importance of mode and spreads. This method ranks various types of fuzzy numbers which includes normal, generalized trapezoidal and triangular fuzzy numbers along with crisp numbers which are a special case of fuzzy numbers. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the validity and advantages of the proposed method.     

Comparing and ranking fuzzy numbers using ideal solutions

This paper presents a new approach for comparing and ranking fuzzy numbers in a simple manner in decision making under uncertainty. The concept of ideal solutions is sensibly used, and a distance-based similarity measure between fuzzy numbers is appropriately adopted for effectively determining the overall performance of each fuzzy number in comparing and ranking fuzzy numbers. As a result, all the available information characterizing a fuzzy number is fully utilized, and both the absolute position and the relative position of fuzzy numbers are adequately considered, resulted in consistent rankings being produced in comparing and ranking fuzzy numbers. The approach is computationally simple and its underlying concepts are logically sound and comprehensible. A comparative study is conducted on the benchmark cases in the literature that shows the proposed approach compares favorably with other approaches examined.     

A new method for ranking fuzzy numbers and its application to group decision making

In this paper, a new method for comparing fuzzy numbers based on a fuzzy probabilistic preference relation is introduced. The ranking order of fuzzy numbers with the weighted confidence level is derived from the pairwise comparison matrix based on 0.5-transitivity of the fuzzy probabilistic preference relation. The main difference between the proposed method and existing ones is that the comparison result between two fuzzy numbers is expressed as a fuzzy set instead of a crisp one. As such, the ranking order of n fuzzy numbers provides more information on the uncertainty level of the comparison. Illustrated by comparative examples, the proposed method overcomes certain unreasonable (due to the violation of the inequality properties) and indiscriminative problems exhibited by some existing methods. More importantly, the proposed method is able to provide decision makers with the probability of making errors when a crisp ranking order is obtained. The proposed method is also able to provide a probability-based explanation for conflicts among the comparison results provided by some existing methods using a proper ranking order, which ensures that ties of alternatives can be broken.

Ranking fuzzy quantities based on the angle of the reference functions

Ordering fuzzy quantities and their comparison play a key tool in many applied models in the world and in particular decision-making procedures. However a huge number of researches is attracted to this filed but until now there is any unique accepted method to rank the fuzzy quantities. In fact, each proposed method may has some shortcoming. So we are going to present a novel method based on the angle of the reference functions to cover a wide range of fuzzy quantities by over coming the draw backs of some existing methods. In the mentioned firstly, the angle between the left and right membership functions (the reference functions) of every fuzzy set is called Angle of Fuzzy Set (AFS), and then in order to extend ranking of two fuzzy sets the angle of fuzzy sets and α-cuts is used. The method is illustrated by some numerical examples and in particular the results of ranking by the proposed method and some common and existing methods for ranking fuzzy sets is compared to verify the advantage of the new approach. In particular, based on the results of comparison of our method with well known methods which are exist in the literature, we will see that against of most existing ranking approaches, our proposed approach can rank fuzzy numbers that have the same mode and symmetric spreads. In fact, the proposed method in this paper can effectively rank symmetric fuzzy numbers as well as the effective methods which are appeared in the literature. Moreover, unlike of most existing ranking approaches, our proposed approach can rank non-normal fuzzy sets. Finally, we emphasize that the concept of fuzzy ordering is one of key role in establishing the numerical algorithms in operations research such as fuzzy primal simplex algorithms, fuzzy dual simplex algorithms and as well as discussed in the works of Ebrahimnejad and Nasseri and coworkers , , , , ,  and .     

Ranking fuzzy numbers with integral value

Ranking fuzzy numbers is important in decision making. Since very often the alternatives are evaluated by fuzzy numbers in a vague environment, a comparison between these fuzzy numbers is indeed a comparison between alternatives. This paper proposes a method of ranking fuzzy numbers with integral value. The method, which is independent of the type of membership functions used and the normality of the functions, can rank more than two fuzzy numbers simultaneously. It is relatively simple in computation, especially in ranking triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Further, an index of optimism is used to reflect the decision maker's optimistic attitude. Discussion on comparative advantages is included.
