Comparison of the RAFSI and PIV method in multi-criteria decision making: application to turning processes

International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 2022
Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are used in many fields so as to rank alternatives and find the best one. However, rank reversal after adding or removing an alternative can occur in using some of the methods.

Reverse Ranking by Graph Structure [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2016 ACM SIGMETRICS International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Science, 2016
Distances in a network capture relations between nodes and are the basis of centrality, similarity, and influence measures. Often, however, the relevance of a node u to a node v is more precisely measured not by the magnitude of the distance, but by the number of nodes that are closer to v than u. That is, by the rank

An Infeasibility Condition for Rank Reversal in the Analytic Hierarchy Process

Axioms
The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is one of the most widely applied tools in Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), yet it is often criticized for rank reversal when a new option is introduced.

Simpson's aggregation paradox in nonparametric statistical analysis: Theory, computation, and susceptibility in public health data

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023
This study establishes sufficient conditions for observing instances of Simpson's (data aggregation) Paradox under rank sum scoring (RSS), as used, e.g., in the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney (WMW) rank sum test.

Geometric and Algebraic Characterizations of Infeasibility of Rank Reversal in the Saaty and Belton–Gear Frameworks

Axioms
We investigate the infeasibility of rank reversal in the Analytic Hierarchy Process under the Saaty and Belton–Gear frameworks. In the Saaty framework, we propose an algebraic characterization and show that it is equivalent to the geometric ...

Third-party ranks knowledge in wild vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops pygerythrus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The Machiavellian/Social Intelligence Hypothesis proposes that a complex social environment selected for advanced cognitive abilities in vertebrates. In primates it has been proposed that sophisticated social strategies like obtaining suitable coalition ...

Association Between Dinutuximab Beta Exposure and Post‐End‐of‐Treatment Survival in Neuroblastoma: A Weighted Patient‐Level Analysis of Three Clinical Studies

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The association between exposure to dinutuximab beta (DB) and event‐free survival (EFS) or overall survival (OS) of neuroblastoma patients was assessed using data collected during three clinical trials (five cohorts). Methods A systematic review (March 2026) was conducted to identify relevant studies (prospective; registered DB ...

Combinative distance based assessment (CODAS) framework using logarithmic normalization for multi-criteria decision making

Serbian Journal of Management, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to present an extended Combinative Distance based Assessment (CODAS) framework using logarithmic normalization (LN) scheme. LN is useful in the situations where criteria values differ significantly.

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Ranked Reverse Nearest Neighbor Search

IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 2008
Given a set of data points P and a query point q in a multidimensional space, reverse nearest neighbor (RNN) query finds data points in P whose nearest neighbors are q. Reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) query (where k ges 1) generalizes RNN query to find data points whose kNNs include q.
