Integrated evidential reasoning approach in the presence of cardinal and ordinal preferences and its applications in software selection

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an integrated evidential reasoning (IER) approach considering cardinal and ordinal assessments.

• We design three optimization models to generate integrated value functions of alternatives.

• Coexistence of cardinal and ordinal assessments of alternatives on specific attribute is considered in the IER approach.

• Complete and incomplete cardinal and ordinal assessments are considered in the IER approach.

• Precise and imprecise attribute weights are considered in the IER approach.
