Abstract: Here we discuss an alternative approach to shortlisting the k out of n best correlating criteria at the end of the InterCriteria Analysis. We propose to use the operation ‘average-row-aggregation’, instead of ‘max-row-aggregation’ as done in previous research, and compare and discuss the results produced with both approaches. For illustration of the proposed approach, data are used from the World Economic Forum’s annual Global Competitiveness Reports, for the 28 EU member states from year 2008–2009 to year 2014–2015.
Keywords: Index matrix, Intercriteria decision making, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
