Numerical Example
- Step 1:
- Let be the collection of the worst affected districts of Sindh, where = Badin, = Dadu, = Khairpur, = Mirpurkhas, = Sh. Banazirabad, = Tharparkar, = Sanghar, = T. M. Khan. Let be the set of decision variables, whereThe great challenge of this problem is to get estimation of most affected area on the basis of grading assessment of decision experts in two teams, in order to distribute the resources and funding according to the damage level. Let and be two grading sets.
- Step 2:
- PRCS Sindh branch sent two rapid evaluation teams to get estimation of immediate requirements to make urgent progressive scheme in most affected district firstly. We consider two decision-makers (DMs) and made two separate teams for assessment and analysis of consequences of flood. Both teams gave the report about the situation of badly affected districts in accordance with chosen subsets by team- and team- in terms of sets, in which grades are given to the attributes. i.e., and , respectively. After a complete research both teams construct 10P10SS’s, and over First we construct a 10P10SS over namely on the assessment of other departments of different institutions, feed back of people of affected areas and according to demand of assessment teams of PRCS. The information system corresponding to collected data from other resources and people of affected areas is given in Table 10 and its matrix form is given in Table 11.
- Step 3:
- Now we construct a 10P10S-topology as
- Step 4:
- Computing aggregate 10P10SS’s of all 10P10S-open sets by using Equation (1), given by
- Step 5:
- By adding and , we obtain the final decision. There is unnecessary to incorporate the aggregate 10P10S-sets of and . By adding the aggregate 10P10SS’s, and to the sum of and , we get the same ranking. Hence there is no need to include these two sets. We haveThis shows that
- Step 6:
- By taking maximum of grading values, we obtain the optimal decision as,The greatest aggregated value is 117. This shows that = Badin is most affected district than others. PRCS, Sindh Branch responded rapidly through its district branches. Teams comprising volunteers and trained staff in emergency relief, first assistance were posted to the badly affected areas within 24 h to implement quick requirement evaluations and deliver humanitarian assistance. Now we solve the same problem by using proposed Algorithm 2. First 3 steps are same as calculated in Algorithm 1. In Algorithm 2, we proceed from step 4.
- Step 7:
- Step 8:
- Then we find out the matrix of by using Equation (3).
- Step 9:
- Now we find the final decision 10P10SS by adding and only because there is no need to add and
- Step 10:
- The optimal decision is obtained by taking maximum of final aggregated values as,
6. TOPSIS Method under M-Parameterized N-Soft Topology
- Step 1:
- Identification of decision problem:Consider is a collection of teams of decision experts, is a collection of alternatives, be two grading sets, is the set of evaluation attrbiutes.
- Step 2:
- By choosing linguistic variables from Table 16, construct weighted parameterized matrix,Decision experts assigned grades, row-wise to each parameter, represented by by using the linguistic variables. In all matrices, the first row (in bold letters) represents the grading values, assigned to parameters by chairman of PRCS according to the surveyed data of teams of other departments, by using linguistic variables from Table 17.
- Step 3:
- Creating normalized weighted parameterized matrix ,
- Step 4:
- Creating weight vector by using the expression
- Step 5:
- Constructing MPNS-decision matrices for each team such that all make MPNS topology,Here are MPNS-elements.
- Step 6:
- The aggregated matrix can be calculated as,
- Step 7:
- Constructing the final weighted decision matrix,
- Step 8:
- Now finding positive ideal solution (PIS) and negative ideal solution (NIS).
- Step 9:
- Calulating separation measurements and of PIS and NIS, respectively, for each parameter by making use of
- Step 10:
- Calculating the relative closeness,
- Step 11:
- Ranking the alternatives in descending order. The optimal choice would be the alternative with largest value of .
6.1. Numerical Example
- Step 1:
- Let is a collection of the badly affected districts of Sindh, where = Badin, = Dadu, = Khairpur, = Mirpurkhas, = Sh.Banazirabad, = Tharparkar, = Sanghar, = T.M Khan. Let be the set of evaluation attributes, whereThe major challenge is to estimate which district/area is most affected on the basis of grading values of decision experts in two teams, so as to allocate the funds accordingly to the level of damage. Let and be two grading sets.
- Step 2:
- Decision experts of assessment teams of PRCS, assigned grades to each evaluation attribute, represented by by using the linguistic variables. In all matrices, first row (in bold letters) represents the grading values, assigned to evaluation attributes by chairman of PRCS according to the information of teams of other departments, by using linguistic variables given in Table 17.
- Step 3:
- The normalized weighted parameterized matrix , by using Equation (4) is given as,
- Step 4:
- The weight vector by using Equation (5) is given as,
- Step 5:
- The 10P10S-decision matrices of two teams are given in which each row represents alternatives and each column represents evaluation attributes and all make 10P10S-topology. There is no need to write null matrix and universal matrix for 10P10S-topology.
- Step 6:
- The Aggregated matrix ¥ obtained as,
- Step 7:
- Constructing final weighted decision matrix as,
- Step 8:
- The positive ideal solution (PIS) and negative ideal solution (NIS) are given below
- Step 9:
- Step 10:
- The relative closeness to alternatives are given in Table 19 as follows,
- Step 11:
- The ranking order is . This shows, Badin is the most affected district.
