A Novel Dominance-Based Rough Set Model with Advantage (Disadvantage) Neighborhoods and Its Applications to Assess Sales Group

In this paper, a fresh multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method is proposed for group-oriented decision analysis. For group-oriented multi-attribute decision-making (GOMADM) problems, this paper proposes local advantage-disadvantage degrees and advantage-disadvantage degrees from the perspective of a strict attribute containing relation between group members and other group members, and studies the related properties. Based on the above two degrees, a new GOMADM method is designed, and this method is locally optimized according to the related properties. Finally, an example is used to analyze the rationality of the GOMADM method, and their ranking results are comparatively analyzed and discussed.

Automated summary

This paper proposes a new multi-attribute decision-making method for group-oriented decision analysis. It introduces degrees of local advantage-disadvantage and advantage-disadvantage from the perspective of attribute containing relation between group members, and studies their properties. The proposed method is locally optimized based on these degrees, and its rationality is demonstrated through example analysis.
