Evidential Reasoning approach for multiple-criteria decision making: A simulation-based formulation
作者：
Highlights：
• The Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach is among the premier methods for MCDM.
• The existing ER framework involves complex formulas with non-trivial proofs.
• We recast ER into a simulation-based framework, termed SB-ER.
• This framework enables straightforward comprehension of the inner working of ER.
• Moreover, the existing ER approach can be readily extended via the SB-ER framework.
