Abstract

An information fusion system with local sensors sometimes requires the capability
to represent the temporal changes of uncertain sensory information in dynamic and uncertain
situation to access to a hypothesis node which cannot be observed directly. One
of the central issue and challenging problem is the decision of what combination and order
of sensors allocation should be selected between sensors, in order to maximize the
global gain in the flow of information, when the data association is limited. In this area,
Bayesian Networks (BNs) can constitute a coherent fusion structure and introduce different
options (the combination of sensors allocation) for achieving to the hypothesis
node through a number of intermediate nodes that are interrelated by cause and effect.
BNs can rank the options in terms of their probabilities from Bayes’ theorem calculation.
But, decision making based on probabilities and numerical representations might not be
appropriate. Thus, re-ranking the set of options based on multiple criteria such as those
of multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) should be ideally considered. Re-ranking and selecting
the appropriate options are considered as a multi-attribute decision making
(MADM) problem by user interaction as semi-automatically decision support. In this
paper, Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) techniques as TOPSIS, SAW, and
Mixed (Rank Average) for decision-making as well as AHP and Entropy for obtaining
the weights of attributes have been used. Since MADM techniques give most probably
different results according to different approaches and assumptions in the same problem,
statistical analysis done on them. According to the results, the correlation between compared
techniques for re-ranking BN options is strong and positive because of the close
proximity of weights suggested by AHP and Entropy. Mixed method as compared to
TOPSIS and SAW is the preferred technique when there is no historical (real) decision-making
case; moreover, AHP is more acceptable than Entropy for weighting.
