엔트로피 척도를 이용한 MADM 문제의 선호대안 선정

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for selecting the preferred alternatives of Multiple- Attribute Decision-Making(MADM) problem using the Entropy measure.A decision-maker who wants to estimate exactly the weight to be applied to her/his MADM problem is usually confronted with the embarrassing situation where, although there exist a variety of weighting methods, it is hard to find a right procedure to choose a pertinent value.To remedy this uncomfortable situation, the Entropy measure commonly used in information theory, is proposed as a tool that can be used by decision-makers to more efficiently select the preferred alternatives.As a result, the method proposed in the paper can be significant in that relatively easy to understand by decision-makers.
