CRITID: enhancing CRITIC with advanced independence testing for robust multi-criteria decision-making

In multi-criteria decision-making and model evaluation, determining the weight of criteria is crucial. With the rapid development of information technology and the advent of the big data era, the need for complex problem analysis and decision-making has intensified. Traditional CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) methods rely on Pearson correlation, which may not adequately address nonlinearity in some scenarios. This study aims to refine the CRITIC method to better accommodate nonlinear relationships and enhance its robustness. We have developed a novel method named CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Dependence (CRITID), which leverages cutting-edge independence testing methods such as distance correlation among others. This approach enhances the assessment of intercriteria relationships. Upon application across diverse data distributions, the CRITID method has demonstrated enhanced rationality and robustness relative to the traditional CRITIC method. These improvements significantly benefit multi-criteria decision-making and model evaluation, providing a more accurate and dependable framework for analyzing complex datasets.

A novel multi-criteria decision making method to evaluate green innovation ecosystem resilience

Green innovation ecosystem resilience evaluation is crucial for ensuring sustainable development in dynamic environments. By comprehensively assessing resilience, it helps identify risks and facilitate effective responses, thus promoting sustainable development. To effectively evaluate the resilience of green innovation ecosystems, this paper proposes a model based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, designed to support decision-makers (DMs) in resilience evaluation. In this model, we improve the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method by introducing Spearman's correlation coefficient to more accurately determine the objective weights of various indicators based on their interrelationships. Furthermore, we propose an Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Average Aggregation (IVIFHAA) operator, which considers both the subjective and objective weight order for aggregating expert evaluation results. Additionally, a scoring function is introduced to generate ranked evaluation results. We also establish a resilience evaluation criteria system covering interconnectivity, sustainability, and diversity within green innovation ecosystems to assist DMs in resilience evaluation. Finally, to validate this method, we apply it to assess the resilience of regional green innovation ecosystems and compare it with other methods. The results demonstrate that the improved operator effectively reduces information loss and improves evaluation efficiency, while the improved CRITIC method handles outliers during the evaluation process.

Comparison of Criteria Weight Determination Using MEREC and CRITIC Methods in Choosing The Best Student Accommodation with the MOORA Method Case Study: Coventry University

One of the challenges faced by IISMA Awardees and students in general in Coventry University is choosing a comfortable place to live. Although various student accommodations are provided, differences in facilities and considerations from other parties such as parents and friends make the selection process complicated. This study develops a decision support system to help students choose student accommodation objectively without any intervention from others and provides a comparison of the use of different combinations of methods as additional guidance in the decision-making process. Two methods, Method Based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) and Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC), are used to weight the criteria. The Multi-Objective Optimization (MOORA) method is used to determine the best alternative after the weight calculation is known. The results using a combination of the MEREC-MOORA method and a combination of the CRITIC-MOORA method place Alternative 5 (A5) in first place, while the remaining alternatives show a similar ranking order. In this study, scenario testing was also carried out by deleting and adding criteria and alternatives which then provided ranking results with a positive correlation even though different combinations of methods were used in determining the ranking.

The CRITIC-AHP performance degradation staged fusion evaluation of wet clutch friction components

The performance of wet clutches plays a crucial role in the efficiency and durability of mechanical transmission systems. As a vital component of the clutch, the degradation of friction components directly affects its stability and reliability. To investigate the performance degradation of friction components, we establish a multi-indicator evaluation system and conduct an accelerated life test, which is validated by an accelerated model. Next, we build a Random Forest model to classify the friction stage. Criteria Importance through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed to assign weights for each degradation indicator during different stages. A Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) scoring method combines indicator weights to construct a CRITIC-AHP staged fusion evaluation model of friction components. Notably, the average relative error of the evaluation results of the model is 9.35%.

Quality Evaluation of Public Spaces in Traditional Villages: A Study Using Deep Learning and Panoramic Images

In the context of rapid urbanization, public spaces in traditional villages face challenges such as material ageing, loss of characteristics, and functional decline. The scientific and objective assessment of the quality of these public spaces is crucial for the sustainable development of traditional villages. Panoramic images, as an important source of spatial data, combined with deep learning technology, can objectively quantify the characteristics of public spaces in traditional villages. However, existing research has paid insufficient attention to the evaluation of the quality of public spaces in traditional villages at the micro-scale, often relying on questionnaires and interviews, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of planning and construction. This study constructs an evaluation system for the quality of public spaces in traditional villages, taking national-level traditional villages in the Fangshan District of Beijing as an example, based on traditional field research, using deep learning and panoramic images to automatically extract the features of public spaces in traditional villages, using a combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) methods to determine the weights of the indicators and applying the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to evaluate the quality of public spaces in traditional villages. The study found that the quality of public spaces in Nanjiao Village is Grade I; Shuiyu Village and Liulinshui Village, Grade III; and Heilongguan Village, Grade IV and that there is still much room for improvement in general. The evaluation results match well with the public’s subjective perceptions, with an R2 value of 0.832, proving that the constructed evaluation system has a high degree of accuracy. This study provides a scientific basis and an effective tool for the planning, design, and management of public spaces in traditional villages, which helps decision-makers better protect and utilize them.

Assessing Southeast Asia countries’ potential in the semiconductor supply chain: an objectively weighting multi-criteria decision-making approach

The semiconductor industry serves as a key enabler of technological progress and economic growth on a global scale. With Southeast Asia emerging as a region of increasing importance in the global supply chain landscape, understanding the potential for its countries to participate in the semiconductor supply chain becomes crucial. Despite extensive research on global supply chain dynamics, a focused analysis on the role of Southeast Asia within this crucial industry has been notably absent, particularly considering recent geopolitical and economic shifts. This gap has been filled by employing a rigorously designed Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach that integrates the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Data on fifteen indicators, including economic stability, technological innovation capacity, and infrastructural capabilities, were collected and identified through an extensive literature review and consultations with stakeholders. These indicators were weighted using the CRITIC method to reflect their relative importance, and each country’s position relative to an ideal solution was assessed using the TOPSIS method. It was revealed that countries such as Singapore and Malaysia possess significant potential due to their advanced technological infrastructure and stable economic environments. Other countries, like Vietnam and Indonesia, were also found to exhibit promising capabilities, albeit with certain limitations. The study highlights the varying strengths and strategic areas that should be considered by policymakers and investors to enhance integration into the global semiconductor supply chain. Significant contributions to the strategic decision-making process have been made by providing a nuanced analysis of the region’s readiness and identifying specific areas for investment and policy intervention. By offering a methodological framework that can be adapted to other regions and sectors, not only has an existing research void been filled, but the practical understanding of effectively leveraging Southeast Asia’s potential in the semiconductor industry has also been enhanced.

Study on the Driver Visual Workload in High-Density Interchange-Merging Areas Based on a Field Driving Test.

A visual workload model was constructed to determine and evaluate drivers' visual workload characteristics in high-density interchange-merging areas. Five interchanges were selected, and a real-vehicle driving test was conducted with 47 participants. To address the differences in drivers' visual characteristics in the interchange cluster merging areas, the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) objective weighting method was employed. Six visual parameters were selected to establish a comprehensive evaluation model for the visual workload in high-density interchange-merging areas. The results show that the average scanning frequency and average pupil area change rate are most strongly correlated with the visual workload, whereas the average duration of a single gaze has the lowest weight in the visual workload assessment system. Different driver visual workloads were observed depending on the environment of the interchange-merging areas, and based on these, recommendations are proposed to decrease drivers' workload, thereby increasing road safety.

A novel framework for uncovering the coordinative spectrum-effect correlation of the effective components of Yangyin Tongnao Granules on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

Ethnopharmacological relevanceIschemic stroke is currently a major public health hazard.Yangyin Tongnao Granules (YYTN), a traditional Chinese medicinal prescription, exerts potential therapeutic effects on subsequent cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) after ischemic stroke. However, further studies are required to comprehend the underlying mechanism of YYTN for treating CIRI and the associated spectrum-effect mechanisms. Aim of the studyTo investigate the coordinated correlation between the fingerprint and the pharmacodynamic indexes of the effective components (total flavonoids, total saponins, total alkaloids, and total phenolic acids) in YYTN for treating CIRI in rats. MethodsThe fingerprints of five specific components (ligustrazine, puerarin, ferulic acid, calycosin, and formononetin) of YYTN in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were established using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their peak areas were quantified in plasma samples. The pharmacodynamic indexes of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), cytochrome c (Cyt-C), and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) were integrated using the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method to create a comprehensive evaluation index. Spectrum-effect correlation was analyzed by performing gray relation analysis (GRA), correlation analysis (CA), and partial least squares regression (PLSR). The Borda method was then applied to integrate the obtained results. ResultsIn MCAO rats, the effective components of YYTN reduced TNF-α and Cyt-C and increased T-SOD, which indicates their anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antioxidant effects. Spectrum-effect CA revealed certain associations between the chromatographic peaks of the five main components and the comprehensive pharmacodynamic evaluation index. Of these components, formononetin displayed the highest correlation, whereas ferulic acid exhibited the lowest correlation. All components showed a positive correlation. Using the Borda method, the components were ranked as follows based on correlation: formononetin > calycosin > ligustrazine > puerarin > ferulic acid. ConclusionsThe effective components of YYTN exhibited synergistic effects in the treatment of MCAO rats, which could potentially be attributed to their multitarget and multipathway mechanisms. The Borda method-based spectrum-effect correlation analysis provides a coordinated approach to investigate the relationship between fingerprint and pharmacodynamics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Multi-criteria decision-based hybrid energy selection system using CRITIC weighted CODAS approach

A complex and multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problem arises in a bid to select the most appropriate hybrid energy system among several combinations in distributed electricity generation as it involves conflicting criteria that must be simultaneously considered. In this work, Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) along with Combinative Distance-Based Assessment (CODAS) was employed to select a suitable hybrid energy system combination for water pumping from four conflicting alternatives of Biomass-Battery (S1), PV-Battery (S2), PV-Biomass (S3), and PV-Biomass-Battery (S4) by objective weight estimation. This was followed by a confirmation by the Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method for the solution. The results presented show that CRITIC method reveals 0.275, 0.224, 0.248, and 0.252 as different weights of the four alternatives of S1, S2, S3, and S4, respectively. The ranking results reveal S4 as the best alternative based on an assessment score of 0.4693. The same hybrid system was confirmed by ARAS based on overall performance and degree of utility of 0.287697 and 0.823716, respectively.

Adapting to climate change in arid agricultural systems: An optimization model for water-energy-food nexus sustainability

Sustainable management of water, energy, and food (WEF) under climate change will be a significant challenge for arid agricultural systems. This study developed a fractional non-linear multi-objective programming (FNLMOP) model to optimize resource allocation and improve agricultural sustainability in these systems under climate change. The model was designed in the framework of the WEF nexus to simultaneously improved energy productivity (profit/energy), and water productivity (profit/water), while mitigating environmental damage (damage to groundwater resources/output) and ensuring food security in an arid watershed in Iran. The long Ashton research station weather generator (LARS-WG) and the coupled model intercomparison project 6 (CMIP6) were employed to project climate parameters for both future dry and wet conditions. The sustainability of the optimal solutions was then assessed using a hybrid criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC)-VIKOR approach. The optimal solutions revealed a reduction in the land under cultivation and produced less water-intensive crops. The optimization model can ensure WEF security, enhancing agricultural system sustainability by optimizing crop cultivation patterns and resource allocation. Current crop choices were highly inefficient with the bigger changes being from the current crops to optimal crops. Climate change showed a substantial but lesser influence on optimal crop choice.

Underground concrete pipe crack damage monitoring by the fuzzy analysis of microseism

Abstract Underground concrete pipe is critical for the safety of the urban infrastructure. Crack would lead to the accidents such as fluid spillage, ground subsidence, as well as waterlogging. Thus, it is of great significance to measure and monitor the crack of pipeline. In this research, a fuzzy monitoring method of the concrete pipe crack damage based on the microseism signal GMM (Gaussian Mixed Model) analysis was proposed. First, the multi parameters of microseism signal were extracted. Then, CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) weight vector was constructed using the importance information of parameters. Further, the GMM membership matrix was created by the similarity of the probability density distribution. The crack condition was assessed by means of the fuzzy calculation between the weight vector and membership matrix. The experiment indicated that the proposed method could monitor and assess the different crack conditions in real time.

Additionally, the sensitivity and comparative of several optimal phenomena are analysed based on distinctive combinations of challenges in the ranking arena.

Analysis of the Influence of Online Public Opinion on Corporate Brand Value: An Efficient Way to Avoid Unexpected Shocks from the Internet

Nowadays, online public opinions (OPOs) significantly impact corporate brand value (CBV). To prevent corporate brand crises caused mainly by OPOs, it is essential to detect anomalies in OPOs related to corporate reputation in a timely manner. This study explores how dramatic changes in OPOs affect market capital value (MCV), the primary indicator of CBV, and aims to construct a CBV early warning evaluation model. First, a set of OPO indicators dedicated to CBV are selected based on correlation analysis between various popular OPO and CBV indicators collected through a literature review. The method of Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) is then employed to determine the indicator weights using data collected from popular social media platforms. Finally, the vector auto-regression (VAR) model is applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation model. A case study involving several Chinese enterprises shows that abnormal changes in their MCVs consistently follow abnormal fluctuations observed in their OPOs, with a significant delay. This finding enables managers to promptly detect potential crises from the internet and take actions to avoid unexpected shocks.

An efficient decision-making model for evaluating irrigation systems under uncertainty: Toward integrated approaches to sustainability

Agriculture is essential for many countries that depend on crops for food production and security. So, evaluating irrigation systems and selecting the best one is critical and gives various benefits such as water use efficiency, productivity, and agricultural development. This paper proposed a framework for conserving water and increasing effectiveness by using a suitable irrigation system. We used the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology to deal with conflict criteria in the evaluation process. We used two MCDM methods such as Criteria Importance Through Inter-Criteria Correlation (CRITIC) method to compute the weights of the irrigation system criteria, and the spherical fuzzy double normalization-based multiple aggregations (DNMA) method to rank the irrigation systems (alternatives). The main advantage of CRITIC method computes the conflict and variability of the criteria by calculate weights of them. The main advantage of DNMA is used the two normalization method to rank the alternatives. These methods are integrated with spherical fuzzy set (SFS) fuzzy information in the assessment process. It has three values: membership, non-membership, and hesitant degrees to overcome uncertainty in the assessment steps. The proposed methodology is applied to a case study to show its performance. This study used 20 criteria of irrigation systems and 10 irrigation systems (alternatives) to select the best alternative. The results are discussed from the perspective of five experts. The sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the stability of the results. The comparative analysis is performed to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The results show the proposed methodology is more robust compared to other methods.

Prioritization of renewable energy for offshore ship charging stations based on intuitionistic fuzzy GLDS method: A case of China

Offshore ship charging station (OSCS) projects can help to address the current demand for electric ships for ocean voyages to a large extent. The proper selection of the energy source for power generation is a key part of the OSCS project. To select the optimal renewable energy for OSCS with many difficulties such as the ambiguity of the decision-making environment, the differences in group assessment information, and the conflict and compensation between criteria, this paper proposed a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework. First, a comprehensive criteria system was constructed. Second, the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) was introduced to express experts’ fuzzy cognition. Third, based on the quality of evaluation, a novel expert weighting method was proposed, and the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy weighted geometric interaction averaging (GIFWGIA) operator was used to aggregate the individual evaluations. Fourth, the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method, and the stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis II (SWARA II) method were introduced to determine the criteria weights. Fifth, considering criteria compensation, and individual and group ranks, the gained and lost dominance score (GLDS) method were used for ranking. Finally, to verify the applicability and reliability of the framework, a case study was conducted in Pingtan Island, Fujian Province. The results show that wind energy was the best alternative, followed by solar, wave and nuclear energy.

A decision support system for cooling tower technologies evaluation in the oil and gas industry

Mitigating the impacts of thermal pollution caused by the oil and natural gas (O&G) industry by applying the appropriate cooling tower technology has advantages for environmental, economic, and health goals. We aim at implementing an intelligent decision support system (DSS). The DSS involves the Delphi and criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) integrated method (DEACRIM) and ranking of alternatives through functional mapping of criterion sub-intervals into a single interval (RAFSI) model under the linear Diophantine fuzzy set (LDFS). Ten criteria based on water-energy nexus and circularity policies and four cooling tower technologies including Natural draft cooling tower technology, Induced draft cooling tower technology, Crossflow cooling tower technology, and Forced draft cooling tower technology have been chosen for evaluation. The evaluation results reveal that the Natural draft cooling tower technology is the most suitable scenario for Iran's O&G energy system facilities in order to mitigate thermal pollution.

Analyzing energy transition for industry 4.0-driven hybrid energy system selection with advanced neural network-used multi-criteria decision-making technique

This study aims to select the appropriate renewable energy alternatives for the efficiency of hybrid energy systems to increase energy transition performance. For this purpose, a novel neural network (NN)-based fuzzy decision-making model is constructed that has three different stages. In the first stage, NN-based fuzzy decision matrix is created. Secondly, 6 different variables based on industry 4.0 are weighted with the sine trigonometric Pythagorean fuzzy entropy technique. Additionally, another calculation has been implemented with criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) to identify the consistency of the results.

Moreover, to test the validity of these results, another analysis is conducted using the additive ratio assessment (ARAS) technique. The main contribution of the study is that the optimal renewable energy combination required for an efficient hybrid energy system is determined by performing a priority analysis between the variables. This situation has a significant guiding feature for investors. Similarly, the development of the RATGOS technique both increases the methodological originality of the study and enables more accurate alternative ranking. It is identified that the results of all methods are similar. Therefore, this situation gives information about the coherency and validity of the findings. It is concluded that the most important criterion is real-time capability. It is also denoted that the best combination for hybrid energy systems is Solar-Wind.
