Abstract

In response to a situation that it is not easy to accurately compute the indicator weight in multiple objective decisions, and it is unable to achieve effective harmonization of subjective and objective when the traditional methods were used to calculate the weights. The combination rule of evidence theory was introduced in this article, which was used to combine the weights in traditional method by using the combination weighting model effectively by setting a coupled model, and the results were not only objective but also fit the subjective preferences of decision makers. The weights computed by the combination rule were more advanced, because the objectivity of the quantitative indicators and the subjectivity of qualitative indicators were highlighted when compared with those results of linear combination. At last, the coupled model was proved that it can be effectively used in multiple objective decision issues by an example argument.
