| Abstract: | The inter-sequence analysis method is a popular decision making method considering subjective information of the decision maker. The validity of this method is sensitive to the subjective information provided by the decision maker significantly. Thus, a new weighting method based on the inter-sequence analysis method is proposed. This new method can appropriately reduce the participation of the subjective judgment of the decision maker, and then accordingly decrease the influence of the subjective judgment to the results. It only needs the decision maker to give the inter sequence of the criteria. The importance comparison of two criteria is objectively determined by considering the ratio of a criterion being superior to another one. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the calculation process of the new method. |
