Abstract: In multiple attribute decision making (MADM) issues, the ambiguity, imprecision, and imperfection of assessment information may lead to inadequate decision-making results. However, the Z-number suggested by Zadeh in 2011 could somehow prevent this problem. For MADM issues with unknown attributes weights, an extended Distance from the Average Solution (EDAS) method is proposed under a mixture Z-number environment. In addition, the Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) method is used to estimate the weights of the criterion, which is easy to calculate and avoids subjective forecasts. A novel illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility, validity, and practicability of the presented method, and is compared with existing decision methods. The outcome indicates that the suggested method can solve complicated decision-making problems.
