2. Research method
In this study, the research method is designed in four stages. In the
first step, is the clustering of laboratory units using the K-means
clustering method based on the performance scores obtained by Ghafari
Someh et al. 8. Finally, the second step proposes an
approach towards profit sharing for members of the laboratory network
using Shapley’s value. In Fig. 1, the research methodology is divided
into two phases.
