Faced with complex decision problems, Distribution linguistic preference relation (DLPR) is an effective way for decision-makers (DMs) to express preference information. However, due to the complexity of the decision-making environment, DMs may not be able to provide complete linguistic distribution for all linguistic terms in DLPRs, which results in incomplete DLPRs. Therefore, in order to solve group decision-making (GDM) with incomplete DLPRs, this paper proposes expected consistency-based model and multiplicative DEA cross-efficiency. For a given incomplete DLPRs, we first propose an optimization model to obtain complete DLPR. This optimization model can evaluate the missing linguistic distribution and ensure that the obtained DLPR has a high consistency level. And then, we develop a transformation function that can transform DLPRs into multiplicative preference relations (MPRs). Furthermore, we design an improved multiplicative DEA model to obtain the priority vector of MPR for ranking all alternatives. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the rationality and applicability of the proposed GDM method.

Interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy preference relation (IVPFPR) plays an important role in representing the complex and uncertain information. The application of IVPFPRs gives better solutions in group decision making (GDM). In this paper, we investigate a new method to solve GDM problems with IVPFPRs. Firstly, novel multiplicative consistency and consensus measures are proposed. Subsequently, the procedure for improving consistency and consensus levels are put forward to ensure that every individual IVPFPR is of acceptable multiplicative consistency and consensus simultaneously. In the context of minimizing the deviations between the individual and collective IVPFPRs, the objective experts’ weights are decided according to the optimization model and the aggregated IVPFPR is derived. Afterwards, a programming model is built to derive the normalized Pythagorean fuzzy priority weights, then the priority weights of alternatives are identified as well. An algorithm for GDM method with IVPFPRs is completed. Finally, an example is cited and comparative analyses with previous approaches are conducted to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fuzzy Preference

Group decision making with intuitionistic fuzzy preference information contains two key issues: acceptability measurement and priority weight determination. In this paper, we investigate the above two issues with respect to multiplicative interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation (IVIFPR). Firstly, a consistency index is defined to measure the multiplicative consistency degree of IVIFPR and an optimization model is established to improve the consistency degree of IVIFPR to an acceptable one. Next, in terms of priority weight determination, an error-analysis-based extension method is proposed to obtain priority weight vector from the acceptable IVIFPR. For GDM problems, decision makers’ weights are derived by the proposed multiplicative consistency index. Subsequently, the collective IVIFPR is obtained by using an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) weighted averaging operator. Finally, a step-by step algorithm for GDM with IVIFPRs is given, and an example of enterprise innovation partner selection is analyzed, and comparative analyses with existing approaches are performed to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is both effective and practical in dealing with GDM problems.

Linguistic Preference Relation

In this paper, we introduce some operational laws of linguistic variables and define some linguistic preference relations such as incomplete linguistic preference relation and improved linguistic preference relation, etc. We then utilize the extended arithmetic averaging (EAA) operator and the extended weighted arithmetic averaging (EWAA) operator to develop an approach to group decision making based on incomplete linguistic preference relations. Finally, we give an illustrative example to verify the developed approach.

In this paper, we define two types of linguistic preference relations (multiplicative linguistic preference relation and additive linguistic preference relation), and study some of their desirable properties. We introduce the extended geometric mean (EGM) operator, extended arithmetical averaging (EAA) operator, extended ordered weighted averaging (EOWA) operator and extended ordered weighted geometric (EOWG) operator. An approach based on the EGM and EOWG operators and multiplicative linguistic preference relations and an approach based on the EAA and EOWA operators and additive linguistic preference relations are proposed to ranking the alternatives in the group decision-making problems. Finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate the developed approaches.
