Grounded explanations: it explains the method, it does not compute.
Assumptions to verify
- •Domain experts available and willing to score criteria
- •Experts can meaningfully differentiate between criteria (non-zero σ)
- •Triangular fuzzy numbers adequately capture uncertainty
When not to use
- •No domain experts available: use objective weighting (FUZZY-CRITIC, FUZZY-ENTROPY)
- •Experts tend to rate all criteria equally (zero variance problem)
- •Higher-order uncertainty (IFS, hesitant) needed: use IF-/HF- weight methods
Commonly paired with
- •FUZZY-SIWEC + FUZZY-RAWEC (high)
- •FUZZY-SIWEC + FUZZY-TOPSIS (medium)
- •FUZZY-SIWEC + FUZZY-VIKOR (medium)
