- Abstract
One key point in the multiple attribute decision making is to determine the associated weights. In this paper, we first briefly review some main methods for determining the weights by using distribution functions. Then, motivated by the idea of data distribution, we develop some novel methods for obtaining the weights associated with the weighted arithmetic aggregation operators. The methods can relieve the influence of biased data on the decision results by weighting these data with small values based on the corresponding probability of data. Furthermore, some commonly used probability distribution methods are used to solve the problems in different conditions. Finally, four practical examples are provided to illustrate the weighting method.
