چکیده

The aim of this paper is to present a fusion approach of multi-granularity linguistic information for managing information assessed in di erent linguistic term sets (multi-granularity linguistic term sets) together with its application in a decision making problem with multiple information sources, assuming that the linguistic performance values given to the alternatives by the di erent sources are represented in linguistic term sets with di erent granularity and=or semantic. In this context, a decision process based on two steps is proposed with a view to obtaining the solution set of alternatives. First, the fusion of the multi-granularity linguistic performance values is carried out in order to obtain collective performance evaluations. In this step, on the one hand, the multi-granularity linguistic information is made uniform using a linguistic term set as the uniform representation base, the basic linguistic term set. On the other hand, the collective performance evaluations of the alternatives are obtained by means of an aggregation operator, being fuzzy sets on the basic linguistic term set. Second, the choice of the best alternative(s) from the collective performance evaluations is performed. To do that, a fuzzy preference relation is computed from the collective performance evaluations using a ranking method of pairs of fuzzy sets in the setting of Possibility Theory, applied to fuzzy sets on the basic linguistic term set. Then, a choice degree may be applied on the preference relation in order to rank the alternatives. ? 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

An Approach to Hesitant Fuzzy Group Decision Making with Multi-Granularity Linguistic Information

Abstract. The 2-tuple linguistic computational model is an important tool to deal with linguistic information. To extend the application of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets and avoid information loss, this paper introduces hesitant fuzzy 2-tuple linguistic term sets that are expressed by using several symbolic numbers in [0,1]. Considering the order relationship between hesitant fuzzy 2tuple...

Correlation Coefficients for Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets

Here are many situations in real applications of decision making where we deal with uncertain conditions.  Due to the different sources of uncertainty,  since its original definition of fuzzy sets in 1965 cite{zadeh1965},  different generalizations and extensions of fuzzy sets have been introduced: Type-2 fuzzy sets cite{6,13}, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets cite{1}, fuzzy multi-sets cite{37} and et...

Correlation coefficients of linguistic interval hesitant fuzzy sets and their application

To address the hesitancy, inconsistency and uncertainty of decision makers’ cognitions, linguistic interval hesitant fuzzy sets (LIHFSs) are efficient tools. This paper focuses on studying the application of LIHFSs. To do this, two correlation coefficients of LIHFSs are defined, which needn't consider the length of elements in LIHFSs or the arrangement of their possible interval values. To addr...

Multiple attribute group decision making with linguistic variables and complete unknown weight information

Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

A model based on linguistic 2-tuples for dealing with multigranular hierarchical linguistic contexts in multi-expert decision-making

In those problems that deal with multiple sources of linguistic information we can find problems defined in contexts where the linguistic assessments are assessed in linguistic term sets with different granularity of uncertainty and/or semantics (multigranular linguistic contexts). Different approaches have been developed to manage this type of contexts, that unify the multigranular linguistic ...
