Maclaurin Symmetric Mean Operator
The Maclaurin Symmetric Mean (MSM) operator is an aggregation method that combines multiple criteria or attribute values using symmetric mean functions. Unlike simple averaging, MSM captures interactions between criteria and enables flexible sensitivity to criterion magnitudes through a parameter λ. It is particularly useful in fuzzy multi-criteria decision analysis and handles both individual and joint effects of criteria.
