Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4A New Systematic and Flexible Method for Developing Hierarchical Decision-Making Models(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2015) Beldek, Ulas; Leblebicioglu, Mehmet Kemal; Lebleb Iciog lu, Mehmet Kemal; Belde, UlaşThe common practice in multilevel decision-making (DM) systems is to achieve the final decision by going through a finite number of DM levels. In this study, a new multilevel DM model is proposed. This model is called the hierarchical DM (HDM) model and it is supposed to provide a flexible way of interaction and information flow between the consecutive levels that allows policy changes in DM procedures if necessary. In the model, in the early levels, there are primary agents that perform DM tasks. As the levels increase, the information associated with these agents is combined through suitable processes and agents with higher complexity are formed to carry out the DM tasks more elegantly. The HDM model is applied to the case study 'Fault degree classification in a 4-tank water circulation system'. For this case study, the processes that connect the lower levels to the higher levels are agent development processes where a special decision fusion technique is its integral part. This decision fusion technique combines the previous level's decisions and their performance indicator suitably to contribute to the improvement of new agents in higher levels. Additionally, the proposed agent development process provides flexibility both in the training and validation phases, and less computational effort is required in the training phase compared to a single-agent development simulation carried out for the same DM task under similar circumstances. Hence, the HDM model puts forward an enhanced performance compared to a single agent with a more sophisticated structure. Finally, model validation and efficiency in the presence of noise are also simulated. The adaptability of the agent development process due to the flexible structure of the model also accounts for improved performance, as seen in the results.Book Part A new multi-agent decision making structure and application to model-based fault diagnosis problem(IEEE, 2017) Leblebicioğlu, Kemal; Zengin, Yasin; Schmidt, Klaus WernerA new hierarchical multi-agent decision-making structure has been proposed. There are two phases of the structure. The first phase is the construction phase where the decision making structure consisting of switching and classification agents is built on the training data set generated by the system scenarios. In construction phase, switching and classification agents are trained and made ready for decision making. In the decision phase, which is the second phase, the class of the new data sample is decided. This process is carried out by the transmission of the data sample to the correct classifier agent by the switching agents and the classification by the classifier agent. The proposed structure is applied to a complex fault identification problem and a successful result is obtained. The structure is also adaptable to other big data decision making problems.
