Abstract

Multicriteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problems have been a research hotspot in recent years, and prospect theory is introduced to cope with the risk and imprecision in the process of decision-making. To guarantee the effectiveness of information aggregation and extend the feasibility of prospect theory, this paper proposes a novel decision-making approach based on rough numbers and prospect theory to solve risky and uncertain MCGDM problems. Firstly by combining rough numbers and the best-worst method (BWM), we construct a linear programming model to calculate rough criteria weights, which are defined by lower limitations and upper limitations. Then for the imprecision of value function and weighting function in prospect theory, we propose a novel method with the aid of combining rough numbers and prospect theory to handle the risk in decision-making problems. Finally, a numerical example involving investment is introduced to illustrate the application and validity of the proposed method.
