An interactive method to solve the priorities of attributes while the preferences of evaluated units are under considering

Abstract

Formerly, the preferences or attitudes of evaluated units are not under considering while the group decision methods are applied in evaluations. In this paper, a new model is proposed for solving the priorities of attributes. By simulating the decision-making process, the model uses an interactive method to optimize the priorities of attributes and determine the scores of evaluated units. An applied example given at the end of the paper shows the process of this method. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
