Clustering-based method for large group decision making with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: Integrating correlation and consensus

Aiming at the large-scale experts and the lower consensus in large group decision making, a novel clustering-based method integrating correlation and consensus of hesitant fuzzy linguistic information is proposed. Firstly, develop a new hesitant degree function for hesitant fuzzy linguistic element considering its scale. Secondly, put forward the correlation measure and consensus measure models combining the hesitant degree. And then present a clustering method integrating the correlation and consensus to divide the large-scale experts into several clusters. The clustering method simultaneously ensures the cohesion of clusters and the gradual increasing of the collective consensus level. After clustering, activate the selection process to update the weights of clusters combining the number of experts in clusters and the consensus level of clusters and use the score function considering the hesitant degree to rank the alternatives. Finally, a case and some comparisons are studied and analyzed to verify the rationality and effectiveness of the method.

Some interesting properties of the fuzzy linguistic model based on discrete fuzzy numbers to manage hesitant fuzzy linguistic information

The management of hesitant fuzzy information is a topic of special interest in fuzzy decision making. In this paper, we focus on the use and properties of the fuzzy linguistic modelling based on discrete fuzzy numbers to manage hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Among these properties, we can highlight the existence of aggregation functions with no need of transformations or the possibility of a greater flexibilization of the opinions of the experts, even using different linguistic chains (multigranularity). Furthermore, based on these properties we perform a comparison between this model and the one based on hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets, showing the advantages of the former with respect to the latter. Finally, a fuzzy decision making model based on discrete fuzzy numbers is proposed.     

Extension of the VIKOR method for group decision making with extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic information

Group decision-making approaches are very important due to the complexity and uncertainty of many real-world decision-making problems. Some of the decision-making problems are defined in qualitative frameworks. Extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (EHFLTS) is proposed as a new and powerful tool for elicitation of hesitant qualitative information in group decision-making process. In this paper, we first introduced the comparison laws and a family of distance and similarity measures for extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms (EHFLTs) and EHFLTSs, respectively. Next, we developed the extended hesitant fuzzy linguistic (EHFL)-VIKOR method as a qualitative multi-attributes group decision-making approach based on the EHFLTS distance measures to deal with the qualitative hesitancy in group decision making. Finally, we presented an application example about selection of suitable telecommunications service provider of small- and medium-sized enterprises to verify applicability and validation of proposed method in the process of qualitative group decision making.

Adaptive consensus model with multiplicative linguistic preferences based on fuzzy information granulation

An adaptive consensus model based on fuzzy information granulation (fuzzy IG) is presented for group consensus decision-making problems with multiplicative linguistic preference relations (MLPRs). Firstly, a granular representation of linguistic terms is concerned with the triangular fuzzy formation of a family of information granules over given Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) numerical scales. On this basis, the individual consistency and group consensus measure indices using fuzzy granulation technique are constructed, respectively. Then, the optimal cut-off points of fuzzy information granules are obtained by establishing a multi-objective optimization model together with a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm. A novel group consensus decision-making approach where consensus reaching process (CRP) is achieved by adaptively adjusting individual preferences through the optimization of the cut-off points is proposed. After conflict elimination, the obtained group preference gives the ranking of the alternatives. Finally, a real emergency decision-making case for liquid ammonia leak is given to illustrate the application steps of the proposed method and comparative analysis with the existing GDM methods. Comparative results demonstrate that the proposed method has some advantages in aspects of avoiding information loss or distortion and improving consensus performance.

Managing information measures for hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and their applications in designing clustering algorithms

Recently, the Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets (HFLTSs) have been widely used to address cognitive complex linguistic information because of its advantage in representing vagueness and hesitation in qualitative decision-making process. Information measures, including distance measure, similarity measure, entropy measure, inclusion measure and correlation measure, are used to characterize the relationships between linguistic elements. Many decision-making theories are based on information measures. Up to now, distance, similarity, entropy and correlation measures have been proposed by scholars but there is no paper focuses on inclusion measure. This paper dedicates to filling this gap and the inclusion measure between HFLTSs are proposed. We discuss the relationships among distance, similarity, inclusion and entropy measures of HFLTSs. Given that clustering algorithm is an important application of information measures but there are few papers related to clustering algorithm based on information measures in the environment of HFLTS, in this paper, we propose two clustering algorithms based on correlation measure and distance measure, respectively. After that, a case study concerning water resource bearing capacity is illustrated to verify the applicability of the proposed clustering algorithms.

Signed distance‐based ORESTE for multicriteria group decision‐making with multigranular unbalanced hesitant fuzzy linguistic information

The objective of this study is to develop an integrated approach for solving multicriteria group decision‐making problems with multigranular unbalanced hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs). Firstly, a signed distance‐based transformation function is proposed to unify multigranular unbalanced hesitant fuzzy linguistic (HFL) assessments. Secondly, a mathematical programming model based on the maximum consensus is constructed to allocate decision‐makers (DMs)' weights objectively. Thirdly, a new signed distance‐based preference score function is defined to aggregate HFL assessments and determine the weak ranking of alternatives, and a novel preference, indifference, and incomparability test framework is constructed to identify the subtle relations among alternatives. On these bases, a signed distance‐based ORESTE (Organísation, rangement et Synthèse de données relarionnelles, in French) method, in which knowledge regarding criterion values and weights are expressed as multigranular unbalanced HFLTSs, is developed to obtain the ranking of alternatives. Finally, an illustrative example, followed by sensitivity and comparative analyses, is presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The reliable evaluation of financial performance of universities plays an important role in sustainable development of universities, and it could be regarded as a multicriteria group decision making problem. Based on this, in this paper, with respect to the attribute evaluation values are expressed by interval 2-tuple Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic variables, we develop an extended MULTIMOORA method.

Then, considering that there are some deficiencies in the traditional MULTIMOORA method, such as exist the case of circular reasoning, and so forth. We improve it by proposing a comprehensive integration approach, which can not only consider both the utility values and sort results, but also reflect the preference attitude of decision makings simultaneously. Based on these research findings, an interval 2-tuple Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic MULTIMOORA method is presented and the calculation process of this method is described in detail. Finally, we give the numerical example concerning the evaluation of financial management performance in universities to illustrate practicability and reliability of the proposed approach and compare the proposed method with different methods to perform its flexibility.
