Abstract

This paper presents the prioritized induced heavy ordered weighted average (PIHOWA) operator. This operator combines an unbounded weighting vector, an induced vector and a prioritized vector and can be applied to the group decision-making process where the information provided by each decision maker does not have the same importance. An application of this operator is done in governmental transparency in Mexico based on the Open Government Metric (OGM). Among the main results it is possible to visualize how the relative importance of each component can generate important change in the top 10 ranking.
