Entropy Weight Method for Index Ranking

This document outlines the steps to determine the weight of each index using the entropy weight method. It involves: 1) Calculating the proportion of each index. 2) Calculating the entropy of each index. 3) Calculating the entropy weight of each index using the entropy values. 4) Determining the positive ideal solution (PIS) and negative ideal solution (NIS) by finding the maximum and minimum values of each index.

Determining the weight of each index through entropy weight method, and the calculation process

is as follows:

1) Calculating the proportion p} rsub {ij} ¿ of index ij: p} rsub {ij} ¿ is calculated as in (4).

x ij
pij = m (4)
∑ xij
i=1

2) Calculating the entropy e} rsub {j} ¿ of index j: e} rsub {j} ¿ is calculated as in (5).

m
(5)
e j =−k ∑ pij × ln p ij
i=1

The “k” in (5) can be calculated in (6),

k =1/ln m (6)

3) Calculating the entropy weight “w j ” of index j: “w j ” is calculated as in (7).

(1−e j)
w j= n (7)
∑ (1−e j )
j=1

Step 3: Positive ideal solution (PIS) and negative ideal solution (NIS) are determined:

where +¿ ¿= max (8)


PIS=¿ vj ( v ij )

where = min (9)


NIS=¿ v−¿¿
j ( v ij )

Step 4: The distance of each alternative from PIS and NIS are calculated:

n
d +¿¿
i
=
√∑j=1
¿¿¿¿
(10)

n
d −¿
i
¿=
√∑j=1
¿¿¿¿
(11)

Step 5: The closeness coefficient of each alternative (CC i ) is calculated:


d−¿ (12)
CC i= ¿ i ¿
d¿ ¿ ¿

Step 6: The ranking of the alternatives is determined according to CC i values: The bigger CC i ,
the better the relevant alternative. In other words, the alternative with the highest closeness
coefficient is determined as the best alternative.
