AB  - Multi-criteria methods have attracted attention in academia and industry applications for effective decision making. Although there are many multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods, none of these methods are perfect and should be chosen according to the decision problem. Choosing the necessary decision support method to find the right solution that is suitable for the decision maker becomes an important problem. To solve this problem, methods such as Copeland and Borda combining the results of different MCDM methods are available and widely used. In this study, a new hybrid model is proposed based on twice combining the results of different MCDM methods with different criterion weighting methods. The proposed model has been tested on student satisfaction data of 20 foundation universities in Turkey. It has been shown that the final model named Ensemble Copeland can be used as a benchmark in MCDM problems

N2  - Çok kriterli yöntemler, etkili karar verme için akademi ve endüstri uygulamalarında dikkat çekmektedir. Birçok çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) yöntemi olmasına rağmen, bu yöntemlerin hiçbiri mükemmel değildir ve karar problemine göre seçilmelidir. Karar vericiye uygun olan doğru çözümü bulmak için gerekli karar destek yöntemini seçmek önemli bir sorun haline gelmektedir. Bu sorunu çözmek için farklı ÇKKV yöntemlerinin sonuçlarını birleştiren Copeland ve Borda gibi yöntemler mevcuttur ve yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, farklı ÇKKV yöntemlerinin sonuçlarının farklı kriter ağırlıklandırma yöntemleri ile iki kez birleştirilmesine dayanan yeni bir hibrit model önerilmiştir. Önerilen model, Türkiye'deki 20 vakıf üniversitesinin öğrenci memnuniyeti verileri üzerinde test edilmiştir. Ensemble Copeland olarak adlandırılan nihai modelin ÇKKV problemlerinde bir ölçüt olarak kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir.
