Osnova předmětu

1. Different types of uncertainty and their description.
2. Risk and uncertainty in different parts of the decision process.
3. Use of quantitative input data - how to involve random variables into the decision-making process.
4. Use of qualitative uncertain data - qualitative linguistic scales.
5. Pair-wise comparison with uncertain data and its consistency check.
6. Advantages and disadvantages of deterministic/random/fuzzy evaluations and their interpretation (defuzzification, possibility and necessity measures, stochastic dominance, etc.).
7. Missing data in a decision matrix.
8. Selected algorithms for weights evaluation based on uncertain input data.
9. Selected algorithms for alternatives evaluation under uncertain performances (fuzzy-PROMETHEE, fuzzy-AHP, fuzzy-TOPSIS. etc.).
10. Selected algorithms for efficiency evaluation under risk and uncertainty (fuzzy-DEA, stochastic DEA, Fuzzy-PROMETHEE V, etc.).

E-learning

Students learn from the recommended and obligatory literature sources and from the performed state-of-the-art analysis.
Regular consultations with the lecturer are strongly recommended.
