The Hellinger distance in Multicriteria Decision Making: An illustration to the TOPSIS and TODIM methods

作者:

Highlights:

• We brought the Hellinger distance to the context of Multicriteria Decision Making.

• We adapted the TOPSIS and TODIM methods to directly process probability distributions.

• Both methods were illustrated in two examples with promising results.
