A basic issue in Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems is to include the preferences of the decision maker (DM) in the problem solution process. Many MCDM methods assume that DM preferences can be modeled in the form of utility functions. The parameters of these functions represent varying priorities of different DMs about the problem. Several approaches in the literature assume that these parameters are already known or the DM can express them directly and correctly. The approaches developed to derive preferential parameters may require the DM to make many assessments and comparisons, and involve complex procedures. The mathematical programming-based method developed in this study estimates criteria weights in weighted sum utility functions by few preference assessments without imposing cognitive difficulty on the DM. The DM is not asked to directly evaluate criteria but to rank a limited number of alternatives in preference order. The developed approach is applied to a financial portfolio selection problem with three criteria and a university ranking problem with five criteria. For comparison, the Swing method is also applied to the same problems. The proposed method is observed to be more convenient, impose less cognitive burden and provide superior results.

A Probabilistic and interactive approach to multiple criteria sorting
Mutlu, Sinem; Köksalan, Murat; Serin, Yaşar Yasemin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, we develop a method in order to assign alternatives that are evaluated by multiple criteria into preference ordered classes probabilistically. Our motivation is that; when there are large sets of alternatives, placement could be realized in a fast and effective way based on a reasonable misclassification ratio. We assume that the underlying utility function of Decision Maker (DM) is additive. We first ask DM to place reference alternatives into the classes. We develop an interactive probabil...
Information theoretic measure based interactive approaches to multi-criteria sorting problems
Özarslan, Ali; Karakaya, Gülşah; Department of Business Administration (2021-9)
In this thesis, we develop interactive approaches for sorting alternatives evaluated on multiple criteria. We assume that the preferences of the decision maker are consistent with an additive preference function in general monotone and piecewise linear forms. We progressively solve mathematical models to identify the possible category range of the alternatives and ask the decision maker to place an alternative in each iteration. Based on the mathematical models and Monte Carlo simulations, we hypothetically...
A Mathematical programming evaluation approach for multiple criteria sorting problems
Civelek, Merve; Karasakal, Esra; Department of Operational Research (2019)
Multiple criteria sorting problem is to assign alternatives, evaluated according to multiple criteria, into predefined preference ordered classes. In this study, a new distance metric based sorting method is developed to solve multiple criteria sorting problems without specifying class thresholds between preference-ordered classes. The aim of the proposed method is to assign each alternative to one class or a set of possible adjacent classes considering the distance to class centroids. In the proposed metho...
Çok kriterli sınıflandırma problemlerine yeni bir etkileşimli yöntem: enerji sektöründe bir uygulama
Özarslan, Ali; Karakaya, Gülşah (2021-09-01)
Bu çalışmada birden fazla kriterle değerlendirilen alternatiflerin sınıflandırması için karar verici ile etkileşimli bir yaklaşım önerilmektedir. Karar vericinin tercihlerinin literatürde sıklıkla kullanılan toplamsal fayda fonksiyonu ile tutarlı olduğu varsayılmaktadır. Önerilen yaklaşımda, iterasyonlar boyunca karar vericiye alternatifler sunularak bu alternatiflerin kategori bilgisi alınmaktadır. Karar vericiden alınan bilgiler kullanılarak alternatiflerin atanabilecekleri olası en kötü ve en iyi kategor...
Çok Kriterli Tam Sayılı Optimizasyon Problemlerinde Etkin Çözümlerin Bulunması İçin Yaklaşımlar
Karakaya, Gülşah(2016-12-31)
Çok kriterli optimizasyon problemlerinde, tek kriterli optimizasyon problemlerinden farklı olarak genellikle birbirleri ile çelişen kriterler göz önüne alınarak tercih edilen çözüm/çözümler bulunur. Literatürde iki kriterli optimizasyon problemleri için çalışmalara sıkça rastlanırken üç ya da daha fazla kriterli optimizasyon problemleri için yapılan çalışmaların sayısı daha kısıtlıdır. Bu projede çok kriterli (iki, üç ya da daha fazla) tam sayılı optimizasyon problemlerinde tüm etkin çözümleri bulabilen bir...
