Firstly, subjective weights are calculated using the subjective-objective relationship analysis method, while objective weights are determined through the entropy weight method. Then, a comprehensive approach is adopted, leveraging game theory to calculate the final weights. Based on these comprehensive weights, the relative grey correlation coefficient and fuzzy weighted c-mean algorithm are incorporated to yield the ultimate evaluation results. The proposed model was applied to evaluate student performance, and the experiments show that it can obtain scientific and reasonable results. The model not only acknowledges the expertise of experts but also respects the objectivity of the data, thus circumventing the limitations of purely subjective judgments, and surpassing traditional evaluation methods.</p> <p> </p> Yi Yang Caixia Liu Wanli Xie Copyright (c) 2024 Science Insight https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-06-30 2024-06-30 4 1 11 22 10.52812/ijgs.93 Grey Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making https://publish.thescienceinsight.com/index.php/ijgs/article/view/88 <p>Decision Making (DM) is one of the most important components of human cognition. In particular, the Multiple-Criteria DM (MCDM), is a composite form of DM evaluating options with conflicting goals and choosing the best solution among the existing ones. Following the fuzzy DM criterion of Bellman and Zadeh in 1970, several other methods have been developed by other researchers for DM in fuzzy environments. Here we present a parametric, MCDM method utilizing grey numbers as tools. This method improves an earlier approach of Maji and colleagues in 2002, who used the tabular representation of a soft set as a tool for parametric MCDM in a fuzzy environment. The method is also extended to cover cases of weighted DM and suitable examples are presented illustrating our results.</p> <p> </p> Michael Gr.
