Popis: A new multiple attribute decision making (MADM) model was proposed in this paper in order to cope with the temporal performance of alternatives during different time periods. Although dynamic MADM problems are enjoying a more visible position in the literature, majority of the applications deal with combining past and present data by means of aggregation operators. There is a research gap in developing data-driven methodologies to capture the patterns and trends in the historical data. In parallel with the fact that style of decision making evolving from intuition-based to data-driven, the present study proposes a new interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) functions model in order to predict current performance of alternatives based on the historical decision matrices. As the availability of accurate historical data with desired quality cannot always be obtained and the data usually involves imprecision and uncertainty, predictions regarding the performance of alternatives are modeled as IT2F sets. These estimated outputs are transformed into interpretable forms by utilizing the vocabulary matching procedures. Then the interactive procedures are employed to allow decision makers to modify the predicted decision matrix based on their perceptions and subjective judgments. Finally, ranking of alternatives are performed based on past and current performance scores.
