  • Ca represents the judgement coefficient, Cs represents the degree of familiarity and Cr represents the degree of authority.

  • Round 1:Ca=∑MjWj/M=(16*0.5+7*0.3+9*0.2+3*0.1+11*0.1+2*0.1++2*0.1+8*0.1+6*0.1)/16=0.944;Cs=∑MjWj/M=(1*1+12*0.8+3*0.6)/16=0.775;Round 2:Ca=∑MjWj/M=(16*0.5+9*0.3+7*0.2+5*0.1+10*0.1+1*0.1+5*0.1+8*0.1+3*0.1)/16=0.963;Cs=∑MjWj/M=(3*1+12*0.8+1*0.6)/16=0.825.
