The comprehensive ranking evaluation of flood disaster based on grey-cloud whitening-weight function
Yue Chen · 2011
This paper refined the traditional whitening-weight function using the cloud model, which is a representation of both fuzziness and stochastic, and could take a bi-directional conversion between qualitative and quantitative. In this way, a grey-cloud clustering model is proposed for the comprehensive ranking evaluation of flood disaster. The novel method is applied to evaluate the 45 flood disaster cases of several provinces in 1989~1999, and takes the amount of building collapse, affected area, number of victims, direct economic loss as evaluation indicators. The result shows that this method has much rationality and utility for flood disaster evaluation.
