On Consensus Measures in Fuzzy Group Decision Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
In group decision making problems, a natural question in the consensus process is how to measure the closeness among experts’ opinions in order to obtain the consensus level. To do so, different approaches have been proposed. For instance, several authors have introduced hard consensus measures varying between 0 (no consensus or partial consensus) and 1 (full consensus or complete agreement). However, consensus as a full and unanimous agreement is far from being achieved in real situations. So, in practice, a more realistic approach is to use softer consensus measures, which assess the consensus degree in a more flexible way. The aim of this paper is to identify the different existing approaches to compute soft consensus measures in fuzzy group decision making problems. Additionally, we analyze their advantages and drawbacks and study the

Linguistic Measures Based on Fuzzy Coincidence for Reaching Consensus in Group Decision Making Linguistic Measures Based on Fuzzy Coincidence for Reaching Consensus in Group Decision Making
Assuming a linguistic framework, a model for the consensus reaching problem in heterogeneous group decision making is proposed. This model contains two types of linguistic consensus measures: linguistic consensus degrees and linguistic proximities to guide the consensus reaching process. These measures evaluate the current consensus state in three levels of action: level of the pairs of alterna...
متن کاملA Comparison of Distinct Consensus Measures for Group Decision Making with Intuitionistic Fuzzy Preference Relations
Intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation (IFPR), which express experts’ preferences from the preferred, the nonpreferred and the indeterminate aspects, has turned out to be an efficient tool in describing the rough and subjective opinions of experts. This paper focuses on the consensus measures for group decision making (GDM) in which all the experts use the IFPRs to express their preferences. ...
متن کاملBasis for a Consensus Model in Group Decision Making with Linguistic Preferences
In a linguistic framework, a new architecture of fuzzy-logic-based consensus model in group decision making is presented. Its most important feature is that it allows to develop a consensus reaching process guided by two types of linguistic consensus measures, consensus degrees and linguistic distances, which describe with a great exactness the current consensus situation. In this way, more hum...
متن کاملA Consensus Model for Group Decision Making with Incomplete Unbalanced Fuzzy Linguistic Preference Relations
We present a consensus model for group decision making with unbalanced fuzzy linguistic preference relations, i.e., assuming that the preferences are assessed on linguistic term sets whose terms are not symmetrically and uniformly distributed. This consensus model can manage incomplete information situations, that is, situations where the experts do not give all the preference values that they ...

In the fuzzy set theory, information measures play a paramount role in several areas such as decision making, pattern recognition etc. In this paper, similarity measure based on cosine function and entropy measures based on logarithmic function for IFSs are proposed. Comparisons of proposed similarity and entropy measures with the existing ones are listed. Numerical results limpidly betoken th...
