A Method for Estimating Criteria Weights from Intuitionistic Preference Relations

Abstract

An intuitionistic preference relation is a powerful means to express decision makers’information of intuitionistic preference over criteria in the process of multi-criteria decision making. In this paper, we first define the concept of its consistence and give the equivalent interval fuzzy preference relation of it. Then we develop a method for estimating criteria weights from it, and then extend the method to accommodate group decision making based on them And finally, we use some numerical examples to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the developed method.
