A Neural Network-Based Approach to Multi-Attribute Group Decision-Making with Heterogeneous Preference Information

Table 13

Comparison based on expert e²’s decision information.

Methods	Attribute weights	Consider attribute values?	Consider experts’ preference Information?	Both attribute values and experts’ preference	Overall values of alternatives
Maximum deviation method	= 0.2835; = 0.3166; = 0.1910; = 0.2089	consider	Not consider	ONLY consider attribute values	Need calculate
Neural network approach	= 0.1665; = 0.2931; = 0.2297; = 0.3107	consider	consider	Both	Neural network outputs
