Dear researcher, I am doing a research that using neutrosophic AHP and neutrosophic TOPSIS. My specific question are:
1) Have any example can refer to develop a questionnaire format for neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS?
2) Have any recommended software to calculate neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS/ any paper that has show a comprehensive calculation for both?
Neutrosophic AHP and neutrosophic TOPSIS are relatively new techniques in decision-making that incorporate neutrosophic logic to handle uncertain, indeterminate, and inconsistent information. While these methods hold promise, their application and implementation might still be limited, and there might not be as many examples, tools, or software available as for traditional AHP and TOPSIS methods.
Here are some general guidelines to consider when developing a questionnaire for neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS:
- Clearly define the decision criteria and alternatives: Ensure that the decision criteria are well-defined and comprehensive, and that the alternatives represent feasible options for evaluation.
- Use linguistic variables: Since neutrosophic logic deals with linguistic variables expressing uncertainty, you can use linguistic terms like "very good," "good," "neutral," "bad," "very bad," etc., for respondents to express their opinions.
- Provide training or explanations: As neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS might be unfamiliar to respondents, it is essential to provide them with clear instructions and explanations on how to evaluate the criteria and alternatives using neutrosophic values.
- Consider group decision-making: Neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS can be useful for group decision-making. If applicable, design the questionnaire to handle inputs from multiple participants.
- Pre-test the questionnaire: Before using the questionnaire for the actual study, pre-test it with a small sample of respondents to identify any issues or ambiguities that need to be addressed.
Keep in mind that designing a neutrosophic AHP and TOPSIS questionnaire requires a good understanding of the methods and their applications. If possible, collaborate with experts in neutrosophic decision-making to ensure the questionnaire's validity and effectiveness.
For AHP, you can use popular software like Expert Choice, Super Decisions, or the open-source software "ahp" in R, and adapt the input/output for neutrosophic values.
For TOPSIS, there are various TOPSIS implementations in different programming languages (e.g., R, Python, MATLAB) that you can adapt for neutrosophic TOPSIS by introducing neutrosophic similarity measures.
