“…It should be noted that the relationship and the coordination among the factors are essential to the evaluation results of the overall systematic model. Nagpal et al (2016) used the fuzzy-AHP method and the entropy method to evaluate utilization of website resources, and then combined the utility weights produced by these two methods to get the final evaluation score [55]. However, it should be noted that the entropy method used in most literature was developed from the factor level.…”

Patent protection is a critical aspect of sustainable technology innovation, which is currently facing the challenge of patent risk. This study aimed to help enterprises prevent and avoid patent risk in a global view of technology innovation, and to propose a systematic evaluation model for patent risk. By combining the entropy method with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this study constructed an analytic hierarchy model of patent risk. Some indexes in the model were selected based on the summary of prior literature, and other indexes were selected according to experts’ communication, which helped us to generalize the patent risk as comprehensively as possible. The AHP evaluation results determined the weight and relative materiality for each risk factor, which were contained in a criteria layer and a sub-criteria layer. The entropy method integrated the evaluation weights of different experts’ opinions. By dividing the risk factors into three categories, namely “high”, “medium”, or “low”, according to the priority degree, the risk priority ranking was obtained. Suggestions are discussed regarding support for enterprises in dealing with patent risk that may occur during international trade or other commercial activities.

“…The accuracy of LSM based not only on the presence of concise and perceptible data, but also on the selection of the appropriate methodology of data processing and modeling [33]. The method proposed in this paper has been used in the development of strategic research [26], the usability evaluation of websites [27], and so on. This paper introduces it as a method of combining subjective and objective weights for landslide susceptibility evaluations.…”

“…Therefore, the weights obtained from the entropy method and AHP are combined with the fuzzy comprehensive method before being applied to landslide susceptibility zoning evaluation, especially with the introduction of the Shannon entropy algorithm, which can highly enhance the objectivity of statistical data from the field investigation. This method has been used in development strategy research [26], website usability evaluations [27], comprehensive project decisions [28], as well as quantitative evaluation on the characteristics of activated sludge granules and flocs [29]. However, differing very much from previous studies, in our research, the fuzzy evaluation matrices R decide the objective weights with the entropy method so that the final comprehensive weights change along with the evaluation units, such that the proposed methodology is a variable comprehensive weight model for LSM.…”

Landslides are a common type of natural disaster in mountainous areas. As a result of the comprehensive influences of geology, geomorphology and climatic conditions, the susceptibility to landslide hazards in mountainous areas shows obvious regionalism. The evaluation of regional landslide susceptibility can help reduce the risk to the lives of mountain residents. In this paper, the Shannon entropy theory, a fuzzy comprehensive method and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) have been used to demonstrate a variable type of weighting for landslide susceptibility evaluation modeling, combining subjective and objective weights. Further, based on a single factor sensitivity analysis, we established a strict criterion for landslide susceptibility assessments. Eight influencing factors have been selected for the study of Zhen'an County, Shan'xi Province: the lithology, relief amplitude, slope, aspect, slope morphology, altitude, annual mean rainfall and distance to the river. In order to verify the advantages of the proposed method, the landslide index, prediction accuracy P, the R-index and the area under the curve were used in this paper. The results show that the proposed model of landslide hazard susceptibility can help to produce more objective and accurate landslide susceptibility maps, which not only take advantage of the information from the original data, but also reflect an expert's knowledge and the opinions of decision-makers.

“…The approach can grade the components based on their need of refactoring. Two common approaches are used to find out the weights, namely subjective and objective method are considered (Nagpal et al, 2016) and for complete analysis a combined approach in required including both of them. In this paper, weights for different code, smell is evaluated by combining both decision-maker preferences (subjective weighting method) and mathematical model (objective weighting method).…”

“…Further expert opinion is considered to rank the component based on attributes of components and code smell namely priority, severity, dependency and importance. The combined approach is adopted for making a decision on the component which is more affected by the presence of code smell; it has both objective and subjective dimensions (Nagpal et al, 2016) i.e. they are measured on the absolute scale using analytical approach and also relative grading is given for estimating their importance using subjective approach.…”
