Abstract

The method which we call the Weighted Averaging Based on Levels (WABL) can be used to calculate the average representative of a fuzzy number. It utilizes weight coefficients for the level sets as well as the sides of a fuzzy number. We have developed an algorithm to obtain these coefficients. The most remarkable feature of this algorithm is that it makes use of the decision maker's (DM) aggregation strategy. © 2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
