Inverse multiple criteria sorting problem

open access: yesAnnals of Operations Research, 2017
Multiple criteria sorting problem is to assign objects evaluated with multiple criteria to one of the predefined ordered classes. In this study, we consider the inverse multiple criteria sorting problem (IMCSP), in which it is possible to perform actions which have an impact of objects evaluations, hence on the objects classification.

Minimum Manhattan Distance Approach to Multiple Criteria Decision Making in Multiobjective Optimization Problems

open access: yes, 2016
A minimum Manhattan distance (MMD) approach to multiple criteria decision making in multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) is proposed. The approach selects the final solution corresponding with a vector that has the MMD from a normalized ideal ...

Neighborhood Attribute Reduction: A Multicriterion Strategy Based on Sample Selection

open access: yesInformation, 2018
In the rough-set field, the objective of attribute reduction is to regulate the variations of measures by reducing redundant data attributes. However, most of the previous concepts of attribute reductions were designed by one and only one measure, which ...
