Probabilistic linguistic preference relation (PLPR) provides an effective and flexible tool with
which preference degrees of decision-makers can be captured when they vacillatingly …

Owing to the important role in group decision making (GDM), the consensus research has
received extensive attention from both theoretical and applied perspectives in recent years …

Distribution linguistic preference relations (DLPRs) that model linguistic expressions with the
aid of probabilistic distributions of multiple linguistic terms provide an effective tool to …

The use of incomplete probabilistic linguistic term sets (InPLTSs) can enrich the flexibility of
qualitative decision-making information expression, especially in decision-making situations …

Consistency and consensus are important issues for linguistic group decision making
(GDM), which have been extensively studied by scholars. Nevertheless, most of previous …

A linguistic distribution assessment is an effective approach to represent uncertain
preferences in large-scale group decision making (LSGDM). The same word often signifies …

Linguistic distribution, as a flexible representation structure, is often used in linguistic
decision-making. Several approaches have been proposed for managing the missing …

Probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) conveys the preference for a linguistic term by
assigning a probability distribution, which can more correctly and flexibly reflect the decision …

In group decision-making, the incomplete probabilistic linguistic preference relation
(InPLPR) has been widely studied because it can flexibly reflect the decision psychology of …
