Abstract :
Index weighting is an important issue in multiple attribute decision making. The application of combination weighting approach can overcome the limitations of using subjective weighting or objective weighting method only. It will help to reflect the essential characteristics of the evaluated object better. The paper discusses the combination weighting approach which based on ldquoimproved AHP-entropyrdquo. The method is used in the process of ldquoresearch project evaluationrdquo decision making. The result of application shows that the combination weighting method can correct the weights obtained by subjective weighting and objective weighting method respectively.
