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

Table 14

Comparison based on expert e³’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	= 0.2997; = 0.2827; = 0.2352; = 0.1824	consider	Not consider	ONLY consider attribute values	Need calculate
Neural network approach	= 0.1428; = 0.4023; = 0.2382; = 0.2167	consider	consider	Both	Neural network outputs
