Abstract

Since the three-way decision theory was proposed, two paradigms, “narrow sense” and “broad sense”, have gradually evolved, each demonstrating unique advantages in handling multi-granularity information and uncertainty analysis. These approaches provide a systematic theoretical framework for solving complex decision-making problems. However, the traditional three-way decision model has limitations in multi-input-output scenarios, and the current method is still insufficient in characterizing the risk attitudes and psychological characteristics of decision-makers. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an interval three-way decision model based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Prospect theory for multi-input-output decision problems. First, we define a many-valued decision information system based on DEA, using benefit scores from various orientations as decision attributes to formulate decision strategies. Second, to mitigate the subjective bias introduced by reference points in Prospect theory, we introduce triangular fuzzy reference points that account for interval uncertainty. Additionally, we propose a calculation method for the multi-input-output interval membership function of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) and a construction method for the value function. Comprehensive decision rules are derived by calculating the overall prospect value. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed model is validated using a series of experiments across multiple datasets, with comparisons to over ten existing methods. The results indicate that the model achieves competitive performance in terms of classification accuracy and decision-making efficiency, demonstrating its strengths in addressing uncertain multi-input-output decision problems while incorporating decision-makers' risk preferences in an interval environment.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Approximate Reasoning is intended to serve as a forum for the treatment of imprecision and uncertainty in Artificial and Computational Intelligence, covering both the foundations of uncertainty theories, and the design of intelligent systems for scientific and engineering applications. It publishes high-quality research papers describing theoretical developments or innovative applications, as well as review articles on topics of general interest. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, probabilistic reasoning and Bayesian networks, imprecise probabilities, random sets, belief functions (Dempster-Shafer theory), possibility theory, fuzzy sets, rough sets, decision theory, non-additive measures and integrals, qualitative reasoning about uncertainty, comparative probability orderings, game-theoretic probability, default reasoning, nonstandard logics, argumentation systems, inconsistency tolerant reasoning, elicitation techniques, philosophical foundations and psychological models of uncertain reasoning. Domains of application for uncertain reasoning systems include risk analysis and assessment, information retrieval and database design, information fusion, machine learning, data and web mining, computer vision, image and signal processing, intelligent data analysis, statistics, multi-agent systems, etc.
