IDOCRIW: Integrated Determination of Objective CRIteria Weights

Overview

Integrated objective weighting (ENTROPY × CILOS product-normalisation). Output typically weight (higher value = preferred).

Strengths

• •Method-specific: Integrated objective weighting (ENTROPY × CILOS product-normalisation)

Limitations

• •Assumes: Decision matrix exists with measurable criteria
• •Assumes: Sufficient inter-alternative variation per criterion

Assumptions to verify

• •Decision matrix exists with measurable criteria
• •Sufficient inter-alternative variation per criterion

When not to use

• •No data variation (constant criterion) → weight degenerates
• •Expert judgment is the actual driver → use subjective weighting

Edge cases

• •See F.steps and D.parameters for IDOCRIW-specific edge handling. recommendation_metadata.assumptions_to_verify also lists boundary conditions.

Common pitfalls

• •Hatalı: 'IDOCRIW bu varsayımı kontrol etmeden uygulamak'. Doğrusu: Decision matrix exists with measurable criteria
• •Hatalı: 'IDOCRIW bu varsayımı kontrol etmeden uygulamak'. Doğrusu: Sufficient inter-alternative variation per criterion
• •Hatalı: IDOCRIW'yi 'No data variation (constant criterion) → weight degenerates' durumunda kullanmak: recommendation_metadata.not_recommended_when alternatif öneriyor.
• •Hatalı: IDOCRIW'yi 'Expert judgment is the actual driver → use subjective weighting' durumunda kullanmak: recommendation_metadata.not_recommended_when alternatif öneriyor.

Worked example

1. 1.Adım 1 (F1): Step 1: Compute Entropy weights w^E_j on the data. Formül: w^{E}_{j} = \text{Entropy}(X)_{j} Anchor: Zavadskas-Podvezko 2016, p.10 Eq.(1)
2. 2.Adım 2 (F2): Step 2: Compute CILOS weights w^C_j on the data. Formül: w^{C}_{j} = \text{CILOS}(X)_{j} Anchor: Zavadskas-Podvezko 2016, p.10 Eq.(2)
3. 3.Adım 3 (F3): Step 3: IDOCRIW weights w_j = (w^E_j · w^C_j) / Σ (w^E_k · w^C_k). Formül: w_{j} = \dfrac{w^{E}_{j}\,w^{C}_{j}}{\sum_{k=1}^{n} w^{E}_{k}\,w^{C}_{k}} Anchor: Zavadskas-Podvezko 2016, p.10 Eq.(3)
