Prediction Of Olympic Host Countries Based on Cluster Analysis, AHP, and EWM

Abstract

The continuation of human civilization must ensure that the Olympic Games can be held stably to maximize the world's benefits. The paper combines normalization and cluster analysis to establish an evaluation model of countries suitable for hosting the Olympic Games. Then we keep data convergence to develop an accurate evaluation scheme based on the entropy method and hierarchical analysis. The countries currently capable of stably hosting the Olympic Games were the United States, China, and Japan. The change of each index over time was predicted based on the cubic smoothing index. We anticipate the countries capable of hosting the Olympic Games after the next ten years in additional countries, such as the United Kingdom, South Korea, Mexico, etc. The political factors are simplified into functions according to the geographical location of the countries respectively. We predict the new countries that will be able to host the Olympic Games in the next twenty years, such as Switzerland, Austria, etc.
