Selecting students from low income family using analytical hierarchy process based on linguistic hedges

In this paper, we propose a new method for selecting students from low income family, namely Mengubah Destini Anak Bangsa (MDAB) programme by analytical hierarchy process based on linguistic hedges. It focuses on utilising the linguistic hedges for decision-makers (DMs)to make their judgement for we...

It is found that the method is successful in dealing with situations which are relevant to the university concern, thus can facilitate the DMs to make a decision in a simple and systematic manner.
