...Jinshan Ma; Pengfei Fan Purpose Given the same mixed attribute alternatives, the decision-making result determined by different decision-making basis ( DMB )- based generalized grey target decision method ( GGTDM ) for mixed attributes may be different owing to the different mechanisms of each...

...Jinshan Ma; Hongliang Zhu Purpose The reported Kullback–Leibler (K–L) distance-based generalized grey target decision method (GGTDM) for mixed attributes is an asymmetric decision-making basis (DMB) that does not have the symmetric characteristic of distance in common sense, which may affect...

...Jinshan Ma; Di Tian; Jinmeng Yue Purpose This paper is to propose a novel generalized grey target decision method (GGTDM) with index and weight both containing mixed types of data. Design/methodology/approach The decision-making steps of the proposed approach are as follows. First, all mixed...
