GENERALIZED DEMATEL TECHNIQUE WITH CENTRALITY MEASUREMENTS
针对传统DEMATEL技术忽略收敛问题和中心性指标不足的缺陷，提出一种融入交互衰减效应的广义DEMATEL方法，并给出六个重要性指标，通过数值示例验证其有效性。
DEMATEL technique is a useful tool for understanding the influential relationship between criteria of a systematic problematique in structural modeling, and has received much attention in the field of decision analysis recently. However, the past papers focused on the applications of DEMATEL technique and ignored the convergence problem of the approach. In addition, two simple indicators, i.e., in-degree and out-degree centralities, used in DEMATEL technique cannot fully represent the insight of the network relationship. In this paper, we propose a general DEMATEL technique which incorporated the concept based on interaction diminishing effect. The traditional DEMATEL technique can be considered as a special case of the proposed method when we ignore the effect. Later, we give six important indicators which can be used in DEMATEL technique to conclude the relative importance of criteria. In addition, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the proposed method and the applications of the indicators.
