چکیده

Chiclana, Herrera and Herrera-Viedma studied conditions under which the reciprocity property is maintained in the aggregation of reciprocal fuzzy preference relations using the OWA operator guided by a relative linguistic quantifier. In this note, we focus on the reciprocity in the aggregation of fuzzy preference relations (that is, the additive reciprocity is not assumed) using the OWA operator. By defining a reciprocity index for measuring the non-reciprocity degree of fuzzy preference relations, we show that a sufficient (but not necessary) condition under which a “collective” fuzzy preference relation, obtained by aggregating a set of “individual” fuzzy preference relations using an OWA operator guided by a linguistic quantifier with parameter a and b, has a reciprocity index no greater than the largest of the corresponding “individual” reciprocity indexes. Our result is helpful to complete Chiclana et al.’s decision model [F. Chiclana, F. Herrera, E. Herrera-Viedma, Integrating three representation models in fuzzy multipurpose decision making based on fuzzy preference relations, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 97 (1998) 33–48]. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

A note on the reciprocity in the aggregation of fuzzy preference relations using OWA operators

In (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 97 (1998) 33), we presented a fuzzy multipurpose decision making model integrating di4erent preference representations based on additive reciprocal fuzzy preference relations. The main aim of this paper is to complete the decision model studying conditions under which reciprocity property is maintained when aggregating preference relations using an OWA operator guided...

A study of the origin and uses of the ordered weighted geometric operator in multicriteria decision making

The ordered weighted geometric (OWG) operator is an aggregation operator that is based on the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and the geometric mean. Its application in multicriteria decision making (MCDM) under multiplicative preference relations has been presented. Some families of OWG operators have been defined. In this article, we present the origin of the OWG operator and we rev...

Applications of Thelinguistic Owa Operatorin

Assuming a group decision making problem where the experts express their opinions by means of linguistic preference relations, the application of the Linguistic OWA operator guided by fuzzy majority is analyzed. Two diierent perspectives of the use of the LOWA operator are presented: (i) in the selection process, to aggregate individual linguistic preference relations in a collective one and to...

The self-dual core and the anti-self-dual remainder of an aggregation operator

In most decisional models based on pairwise comparison between alternatives, the reciprocity of the individual preference representations expresses a natural assumption of rationality. In those models self-dual aggregation operators play a central role, in so far as they preserve the reciprocity of the preference representations in the aggregation mechanism from individual to collective prefere...
