On the Sensitivity Analysis of the OWA Operator

In addition to combined goodness measure, F, which isprovided to each of the alternatives by the ordered weightedaveraging (OWA) weights, sensitivity analysis of the OWA,S, with respect to the optimism degree of the DM is anotherimportant factor for making a reliable decision on rankingof the alternatives. Due to this, this paper by correcting thesensitivity analysis model of the minimal variability (MV)method and extending the formula of composite measure ofgoodness [Zarghami, M. , Szidarovszky, F., Ardakanian, R.,(۲۰۰۸) Sensitivity Analysis of the OWA operator, IEEETransactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics – Part B:Cybernetics, VOL. ۳۸, NO. ۲, APRIL], presents morereliable ranks to each of the alternatives in the presence oftwo conflicting characteristics combined goodnessmeasure and sensitivity measure. Finally, the applicabilityof the proposed methods is indicated by using to a waterresources management problem.[blank line]
