An algorithm for MADM based on subjective preference

Abstract

In multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, as human judgments are often vague and complex, it is usually difficult for decision makers to estimate an exact or crisp value for his preferences. Further, the decision maker's subjective preferences affect the decision result directly. However, there are only a few researches on fuzzy MADM which took into account the decision maker's preferences. This paper put forward a new algorithm for fuzzy MADM, which takes into account the decision maker's preferences. This method makes our new algorithm more reasonable and the results in more agreement with the decision maker's intentions. © 2005 by International Federation for Information Processing.
