In this study, an approach based on PROMETHEE is developed to correctly reflect the choice behavior of the decision maker that is not explained by the utility theory. The prospect theory argues that losses have higher impact than gains. We integrate the prospect theory into PROMETHEE through defining new preference functions. The proposed approach is behaviorally realistic and tolerates some degree of intransitivities in the preferences of the decision maker. For determining the criteria weights, we utilize pairwise comparison method of Analytic Hierarchy Process. Performance of the approach is demonstrated on a university ranking problem.

A statistical unified framework for rank-based multiple classifier decision combination
Saranlı, Afşar (2001-04-01)
This study presents a theoretical investigation of the rank-based multiple classifier decision combination problem, with the aim of providing a unified framework to understand a variety of such systems. The combination of the decisions of more than one classifiers with the aim of improving overall system performance is a concept of general interest in pattern recognition, as a viable alternative to designing a single sophisticated classifier. The problem of combining the classifier decisions in the raw form...
A discussion on how to formulate the question of contingency in Leibniz's system: a logical approach
Besler, Arman; Grünberg, David; Department of Philosophy (2008)
The main objective of this study is to shed light on some difficulties involved in the formulation of the problem of contingency in Leibniz’s philosophical system. Leibniz’s mature philosophy is characterized by the solutions he proposes for this problem, and the ontological ideas underlying or assisting them. ‘The problem of contingency’ refers to the tension between his conceptual containment theory of truth and his claim that true existential propositions that is, propositions which concern actual indiv...
A study on improving decisions in closed set speaker identification
Demirekler, Mübeccel; Saranlı, Afşar (1997-04-24)
In this study, closed-set, text-independent speaker identification is considered and the problem of improving the reliability of the decisions made by available algorithms is addressed. The work presented here is based on the idea of combining the evidences from different algorithms or decision strategies to improve the recognition performance and the reliability. For this purpose, the models generated by a single algorithm for 17 speakers from the SPIDRE; database are considered and a matrix of speaker-to-...
An Approach for determining process economy parameters of multivariate loss functions
Özkan, Gökçe; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016)
The aim of this study is to provide an effective method for determining parameters of multivariate loss functions, which are related with process economics. The loss functions are widely used in product and process design and other quality engineering applications. Although there are several studies about different types of loss functions, there is a lack of studies on determining cost matrix parameters of these functions. For this purpose, we propose a method based on multi-objective decision making tools....
A new fuzzy-chaotic modelling proposal for medical diagnostic processes
Beyan, Timur; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2005)
Main reason of this study is to set forth the internal paradox of the basic approach of the artificial intelligence in the medical field to by discussing on the theoretical and application levels and to suggest solutions in theory and practice against that. In order to rule out the internal paradox in the medical decision support systematic, a new medical model is suggested and based on this, concepts such as disease, health, etiology, diagnosis and treatment are questioned. Meanwhile, with the current scie...
