A New Method Based on PROMETHEE and TODIM for Multi-Attribute Decision-Making with Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) can effectively describe the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems which are characterized by incompleteness and uncertainty. Aiming at the MADM problem of SVNSs, a series of methods are proposed to solve

Replacing target setting by value models in the ‘house of quality’ for value-based requirements specifications

open access: yes, 2014
Setting targets for engineering characteristics (ECs) is common practice in the ‘house of quality’ for establishing requirements specifications. However, if deployed arbitrarily, this practice is prone to errors and can often yield irrational results ...

A linear approximation method for the Shapley value [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Shapley value is a key solution concept for coalitional games in general and voting games in particular. Its main advantage is that it provides a unique and fair solution, but its main drawback is the complexity of computing it (e.g for voting games ...
