摘要
In this paper,a regression model is developed to estimate attribute reliability in the evidential reasoning(ER)context.By analysing the difference between attribute weight and attribute reliability,a general qualitative definition of attribute reliability is provided.The reliability of an attribute is quantitatively measured in consistence with the qualitative definition in the context of the ER approach.A regression model is then constructed to generate attribute reliabilities by minimising the maximum differences between the real value of attribute reliability and its estimation.Within the post-optimal solution space of attribute reliabilities,an optimisation model is constructed to determine the expected utilities of each alternative in order to generate solutions to multiple attribute decision analysis problems.Asale place selection problem in Qingyang County of Chizhou in Anhui province of China is analysed using the proposed regression model to demonstrate its detailed implementation process,validity and applicability.
