Selection of appropriate defuzzification methods: Application to the assessment of dam performance

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an approach for selecting appropriate defuzzification methods that fulfills the requirements of a group of experts.

• We propose a sensitivity analysis of defuzzification methods.

• We apply this approach to the assessment of dam performance.

• Methods were chosen in relation to the objectives (decision-support and communication) defined by a group of dam experts.

• The approach is applied to a real case.
