In this study, the integration of Prospect Theory into ranking and sorting methods based on the dominance relations is studied. The well-known multi-criteria ranking method PROMETHEE and the well-known multi-criteria sorting method FlowSort are extended by using the prospect theory perspective. The proposed methods are used to rank and sort the alternatives in the case where the impact of losses is greater than gains for the same amount. When the results are compared with the PROMETHEE and FlowSort methods, the results show how the rankings and classes of the alternatives change according to the value of loss and gain that are determined by the decision-maker.

A Multiple Criteria Ranking Method Based on Outranking Relations: An Extension for Prospect Theory Karasakal, Esra; Karasakal, Orhan; Şentürk, Hazel (Springer, London/Berlin , 2022-06-01) In this study, Prospect Theory is integrated into a well-known multiple criteria ranking method, PROMETHEE. PROMETHEE considers the outranking relations among alternatives based on the preference functions. Prospect Theory evaluates the alternatives with a difference function based on gains and losses. The preference functions of PROMETHEE are modified to capture the choice behavior of the decision maker. The proposed method is a generalization of PROMETHEE that can handle the higher loss impact case as wel...
A Favorable Weight-Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Multiple Criteria Problems SOYLU, Banu; Köksalan, Mustafa Murat (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-04-01) In this paper, we present a favorable weight-based evolutionary algorithm for multiple criteria problems. The algorithm tries to both approximate the Pareto frontier and evenly distribute the solutions over the frontier. These two goals are common for many multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. To achieve these goals in our algorithm, each member selects its own weights for a weighted Tchebycheff distance function to define its fitness score. The fitness scores favor solutions that are closer to the Pareto...
Evolving a hierarchical decision making mechanism using fuzzy logic Beldek, Ulas; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2008-12-01) In this study, a new hierarchical decision-making and decision-fusion mechanism is introduced for solving decision making problems in a consistent manner. This mechanism is constructed by using a genetic algorithm. The proposed mechanism employs fuzzy logic and a performance index determined based on the performance of decision-making agents at successive hierarchical levels. The mechanism is such that the decisions in previous levels are influential on the current level decisions according to the performan...
An interactive ranking-based multi-criteria choice algorithm with filtering: Applications to university selection Karakaya, Gülşah (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2019-6) In this study, we develop an interactive algorithm to converge to the most preferred alternative of a decision maker (DM) among a set of discrete alternatives. The algorithm presents a limited number of alternatives to the DM and collects preference ranking of them iteratively. The preferences are modeled by a flexible and realistic preference function. To improve the performance, the alternatives presented are determined by a filtering method. We compare our algorithm with benchmark algorithms on nume...
A Probabilistic approach to sparse multi scale phase based stereo ULUSOY PARNAS, İLKAY; Halıcı, Uğur; HANCOCK, EDWIN (2004-04-30) In this study, a multi-scale phase based sparse disparity algorithm and a probabilistic model for matching are proposed. The disparity algorithm and the probabilistic approach are verified on various stereo image pairs.
