An approach to consensus measure based on possibility degrees of PLTSs in group decision making

M Zhao, Q Gao, J Fang, Q Xiao - International Journal of Fuzzy Systems, 2018 - Springer

Optimal consensus models for group decision making under linguistic preference relations

Y Xu, H Sun, H Wang - International Transactions in …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
This paper proposes an optimal consensus model to derive weights for linguistic preference
relations (LPRs). Two indexes, an individual‐to‐group consensus index (ICI) and a …

Three-way group consensus method based on probabilistic linguistic preference relations with acceptable inconsistency

X Han, J Zhan, Y Bao, B Sun - Information Fusion, 2024 - Elsevier

Consensus reaching models of linguistic preference relations based on distance functions

Z Wu, J Xu - Soft Computing, 2012 - Springer
In group decision making (GDM) using linguistic preference relations to obtain the maximum
degree of agreement, it is desirable to develop a consensus process prior to the selection …

Unit consensus cost-based approach for group decision-making with incomplete probabilistic linguistic preference relations
