makers in the field of measuring and assessing the performance under the
multiple evaluation criteria aspect of the systems such as management, economy,
and education system. Besides, academic performance evaluation is one of the
critical issues in higher institution of learning. Even though the academic
evaluation criteria are inherently dependent, most of the traditional
evaluation methods take no account of the dependency. Currently, the discrete
Choquet integral can be proposed as a useful and effective aggregation operator
due to being capable of considering the interactions among the evaluation
criteria. In this paper, it is aimed to solve an academic performance
evaluation problem of students in a university in Turkey using the discrete
Choquet integral with the complexity-based method and the entropy-based method.
Moreover, the <i>k </i>-means method, which
has been widely used for evaluating students’ performance over 50 years, is
used to compare the effectiveness and the success of two different frameworks
based on discrete Choquet integral in the robustness check. Our results
indicate that the entropy-based Choquet integral outperforms the
complexity-based Choquet and <i>k </i>-means
method in most of the cases. </span> <br /> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={İzzet KARA}
