The Best-Worst Method (BWM) has emerged as a prominent multi-criteria decision-making method for determining the weights of the decision criteria. Among various BWM models, this research focuses on the linear model of the BWM. This model…

The Best-Worst Method (BWM) is a well-known distance based multi-criteria decision-making method used for computing the weights of decision criteria. This article examines a taxicab distance based model of the BWM, with the objective of…

Preference disaggregation methods in Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) often encounter challenges related to inconsistency and cognitive biases when deriving a value function from experts' holistic preferences. This paper introduces the…

The nonlinear model of the best-worst method frequently produces multiple optimal weight sets, which are conventionally determined through optimization software. While an analytical approach exists that provides both a closed-form…

In this paper we explore several approaches for sampling weight vectors in the context of weighted sum scalarisation approaches for solving multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. This established method converts a multi-objective…

Modeling of high-dimensional data is very important to categorize different classes. We develop a new mixture model called Multinomial cluster-weighted model (MCWM). We derive the identifiability of a general class of MCWM. We estimate the…

Cluster-weighted modeling (CWM) is a mixture approach for modeling the joint probability of a response variable and a set of explanatory variables. The parameters are estimated by means of the expectation-maximization algorithm according to…

In observational studies, weighting methods that directly optimize the balance between treatment and covariates have received much attention lately; however these have mainly focused on binary treatments. Inspired by domain adaptation, we…

In this study, we propose a multicriteria group decision making (MCGDM) algorithm under uncertainty where data is collected as intervals. The proposed MCGDM algorithm aggregates the data, determines the optimal weights for criteria and…

Two simple yet powerful optimization algorithms, named the Best-Mean-Random (BMR) and Best-Worst-Random (BWR) algorithms, are developed and presented in this paper to handle both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems. These…

We present a robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the worst-case criterion and the constrained constant modulus approach, which exploits the constant modulus property of the desired signal. Similarly to the existing worst-case…

This chapter describes selected aggregation-type multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods that convert an alternatives-criteria matrix (ACM) into a single performance score per alternative through additive, multiplicative or hybrid…

Selecting the optimal radio access technology (RAT) during vertical handovers (VHO) in heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs) is critical. Multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) is the most common approach used for network selection (NS) in…

Bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) problems in system and control designs are investigated in this paper. A solution method of reduction of variables (MRVs) is proposed. This method consists of a principle of variable classification, a…

In the mixture modeling frame, this paper presents the polynomial Gaussian cluster-weighted model (CWM). It extends the linear Gaussian CWM, for bivariate data, in a twofold way. Firstly, it allows for possible nonlinear dependencies in the…

The cluster-weighted model (CWM) is a mixture model with random covariates which allows for flexible clustering and density estimation of a random vector composed by a response variable and by a set of covariates. In this class of models,…

Weighting methods in causal inference have been widely used to achieve a desirable level of covariate balancing. However, the existing weighting methods have desirable theoretical properties only when a certain model, either the propensity…

We propose a multi-criteria Composite Index Method (CIM) to compare the performance of alternative approaches to solving an optimization problem. The CIM is convenient in those situations when neither approach dominates the other when…

For solving constrained multicriteria problems, we introduce the multiobjective barrier method (MBM), which extends the scalar-valued internal penalty method. This multiobjective version of the classical method also requires a penalty…

In this paper, a novel approach for the optimal combination of binary classifiers is proposed. The classifier combination problem is approached from a Game Theory perspective. The proposed framework of adapted weighted majority rules (WMR)…
