Abstract EN
Multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems are characterized by the large number, uneven levels, and bounded rationality of decision-makers; multiple attributes and fuzziness of decision problems; and complex group behaviours.
Considering these characteristics, we propose a MAGDM method using a genetic K-means clustering algorithm.
First, we briefly review the traditional multiattribute decision-making method based on prospect theory (PT) and trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TrIFNs) under the premise of human bounded rationality and uncertain decision environment.
Then, the aggregation model of decision information given by decision-makers is established using the genetic K-means algorithm in order to determine optimal clustering results.
Each clustering center represents decision information given by decision-makers in each cluster, and the weight of each clustering center is determined by considering the tightness of decision information within a cluster and the count of decision-makers in each cluster.
Finally, the ranking of schemes is obtained according to the comparison rules of TrIFNs.
We design comparison simulation experiments to test the proposed method and the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is apprehensible and feasible to solve MAGDM problems.
