Fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision Making Model with Fuzzy Time Weight Scheme

Abstract

In this study, we purpose a common fuzzy multiple criteria decision making model. A brand new concept - fuzzy time weighted scheme is adopted for considering in the model to establish a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making with time weight (FMCDMTW) model. A real case of fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problems to be considering in this study. The performance evaluation of auction websites based on all criteria proposed in related literature. Obviously, the problem under investigated is a FMCDM problem with historic data and recent data. Since the evaluated criteria proposed in the literature cannot be defined precisely and numerically, fuzzy linguistic terms can be used to aggregate them numerically.  It not only conforms to human cognition but also benefits interpretation. Furthermore, notice that the literature considered contains certain amount of historic data. Equally weighted historic data is usually considered in FMCDM problems, and this approach would introduce bias owing to the collected data for a certain long time period.  As a result, fuzzy time weighted technique is adopted to resolve this issue.
