Multicriteria Group Decision Making Using Fuzzy Approach for Evaluating Criteria of Electrician

This paper presents an approach of fuzzy multicriteria group decision making in determining alternatives to solve the selection problem of the electrician  through  a competency test.   Fuzzy approach is used to determine the highest priority of alternative electrician who has knowledge and ability that best fits the given parameters. Linguistic variables are presented by triangular fuzzy numbers. They are used to represent a subjective assessment of the decision-makers so that uncertainty and imprecision in the selection process can be minimized. Fuzzy approach require transforming crisp data to fuzzy numbers. Output of the best alternatives is generated by ranking method. Ranking has been made base on eight criteria which make the evaluation basis of each alternative. Ranking of the results is determined using different value of optimism index (). The fuzzy multi criteria decision making (FMCDM) calculation is using the best alternative using three value of optimism index. The result of calculation shows that the same alternative reached from different index of optimism. This alternative is the highest priority of decision making process

A New Method of Information Decision-making Based on D-S Evidence Theory

D-S evidence theory is a method broadly applied in fusion for decision-making. However, this theory has some shortcomings in the formula of evidence combination with the exception that evidence of fully conflict can not be combined, then the probability validity is difficult to determine and sometimes the composed evidence is different from people's subjective judgments or some other issues. These confine the application of evidence to some extent. Some of them have the dubious credibility which affects the fusion result when Multi evidence are combined together. In order to expand the application of the formula of this theory and enhance the reliability of the fusion results, a new combination formula is introduced in this paper, which is also compared with other formulas in other literatures and finally the improved reliability of this combination formula is verified. At last, through data-mining of the decision-making information on a number of isolated points, a new method using combined evidence to make decisions is described. It's proven from the experimental results that the new combination method not only works well and effectively in the evidence of a high level of conflict but also is applicable to fusion for decision-making
