Multi‐attribute decision‐making method research based on interval vague set and TOPSIS method

Abstract This paper proposed a method to resolve the multi‐attribute decision‐making problem using TOPSIS method based on attribute weights and attribute values are all interval vague value. Firstly, based on the operation rules of the interval Vague value, the interval Vague attribute value is made by weighted operation, and the ideal and negative ideal solutions are calculated based on the score function. Then the distance of interval Vague value is defined, as well as the distance between each project and the ideal, and negative ideal solutions. The relative adjacent degree is calculated by TOPSIS method, then the order of the projects is confirmed according to the relative adjacent degree. Finally, a case is used to show the process of the method this paper proposed and the validity of this method is proved.
