Grey relational analysis model for dynamic hybrid multiple attribute decision making
In this paper, the dynamic hybrid multiple attribute decision making problems, in which the decision information, provided by decision makers at different periods, is expressed in real numbers, interval numbers or linguistic labels (linguistic labels can be described by triangular fuzzy numbers), respectively, are investigated. The method first utilizes three different GRA (grey relational analysis (real-valued GRA, interval-valued GRA and fuzzy-valued GRA) to calculate the individual grey relational degree of each alternative to the positive and negative ideal alternatives based on the decision information expressed in real numbers, interval numbers and linguistic labels, respectively, provided by each decision maker at each period, and then adopt the concept of fuzzy membership grade and clustering to aggregate the grey relational degree of all the evaluated periods. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
