In this paper, we propose the concept of distribution assessments in a linguistic term set, and
study the operational laws of linguistic distribution assessments. The weighted averaging …

This paper studies the group decision making problem with linguistic preference relations.
We first study the consensus measure between the individual preference relations and the …

Inspired by the concept of deviation measure between two linguistic preference relations,
this paper further defines the deviation measure of a linguistic preference relation to the set …

We generalize linguistic evaluation values and their weights in group decision-making
(GDM) problems based on unbalanced linguistic terms. The GDM problems include two …

Linguistic distribution assessments with exact symbolic proportions have been recently
presented. Due to various subjective and objective conditions, it is often difficult for decision …

In this paper, we study the group decision making problem with linguistic preference
relations. We first show that the weighted combination of A1, A2,…, Am is linguistic …

In this paper, we investigate group decision making problems with multiple types of linguistic
preference relations. The paper has two parts with similar structures. In the first part, we …

The probabilistic linguistic term sets can express not only the decision makers' several
possible linguistic assessment values, but also the weight of each linguistic assessment …

In this paper, a sequential selection process in group decision making under linguistic
assessments is presented, where a set of linguistic preference relations represents …

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