Abstract

Aiming at the power customer credit evaluation problem, a new multi-attribute decision making method based on the relative ratio method is proposed. This method firstly uses the coefficient of variation method to determine the index weight and then calculate comprehensive evaluation value, further rank and select the best credit customer. Finally an application example is given to illustrate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method in this study.

Keywords:

Coefficient of variation, multi-attribute decision making, power customer credit evaluation, relative ratio method,
