Two-Sided Matching Decision-Making with Uncertain Information Under Multiple States
A novel decision-making method based on evidential reasoning is proposed for solving the two-sided matching problem with uncertain information under multiple states in this paper. Firstly, the discernment frame of evidence is constructed for two-sided matching. Secondly, the preference ordinal values given by two-sided decision-makers are transformed into rank belief degrees. On this basis, and with two-sided satisfaction as the goal, two-sided rank belief degrees are taken as pieces of evidence, and satisfaction degrees of two-sided matching are obtained through evidence fusion. Then, a decision-making model based on satisfaction degrees is constructed in order to obtain the matching solution. Finally, an illustrative example demonstrates the application of the proposed approach.
