Evaluation Information

Based on the definition of 2-dimension linguistic information of multiple attribute decision making problems proposed by Zhu, Zhou and Yang (2009), the information on evaluation is extended to 2-dimension uncertain linguistic variables, and a new method is proposed to solve the multiple-attribute group decision making problems in which the attribute values take the form of 2-dimension uncertain linguistic variables and the attribute weights are unknown. Firstly, the II class of uncertain linguistic information is transformed into the subjective weights of the experts, and then the subjective weights, the similarity degree of experts’ evaluation information and authority weights are aggregated to the comprehensive weights of each expert. By the comprehensive weights, the group decision making matrix is produced by weighting evaluation information of each expert. Then the maximum deviation method is used to calculate the attribute weights and TOPSIS method is proposed to rank the alternatives. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the decision-making steps and the effectiveness of this method.

In this paper, we develop some new aggregation operators with pure linguistic information including the uncertain pure linguistic weighted geometric mean (UPLWGM) operator, the induced uncertain pure linguistic ordered weighted geometric mean (IUPLOWGM) operator, and the induced uncertain pure linguistic hybrid geometric mean (IUPLHGM) operator. These developed aggregation operators are very suitable to deal with the situation where the input arguments are represented in uncertain pure linguistic variables. Also, as a more general type of aggregation operator, the IUPLHGM operator is based on the UPLWGM and IUPLOWGM operators, and it can reflect the importance degrees of both the given uncertain linguistic variables and their ordered positions. Moreover, in the situations where the information about all the attribute weights, the attribute values and the expert weights are expressed in the form of linguistic labels variables, we develop an approach based on the IUPLHGM operator for multiple attribute group decision making with pure linguistic information. Finally, an application of the developed approach to group decision making problem regarding the selection of investments is given. Also, we present a comparative analysis with other related decision making methods to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed approach.

The design of mechanism scheme is the primary phase and the creative and challenging part in product lifecycle. In this paper, we research the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems for evaluating the design of mechanism scheme with uncertain linguistic variables. We employ the uncertain linguistic weighted harmonic mean (ULWHM) operator to aggregate the uncertain linguistic information corresponding to each alternative and get the overall value of the alternatives, then rank the alternatives and select the most desirable one(s) by using the formula of the degree of possibility for the comparison between two uncertain linguistic variables. Finally, a practical example for evaluating the design of mechanism scheme is used to illustrate the developed procedures.

We propose the interval grey uncertain linguistic correlated ordered arithmetic averaging (IGULCOA) operator and the induced interval grey uncertain linguistic correlated ordered arithmetic averaging (I-IGULCOA) operator based on the correlation properties of the Choquet integral and the interval grey uncertain linguistic variables to investigate the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights are correlative. Firstly, the relative concepts of interval grey uncertain linguistic variables are defined and the operation rules between the two interval grey uncertain linguistic variables are established. Then, two new aggregation operators: the interval grey uncertain linguistic correlated ordered arithmetic averaging (IGULCOA) operator and the induced interval grey uncertain linguistic correlated ordered arithmetic averaging (I-IGULCOA) operator are developed and some desirable properties of the I-IGULCOA operator are studied, such as commutativity, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundness. Furthermore, the IGULCOA and I-IGULCOA operators based approach is developed to solve the MAGDM problems, in which both the attribute weights and the expert weights are correlative and the attribute values take the form of the interval grey uncertain linguistic variables. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

A new method based on the IFLIOWA operator for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) is presented. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we provide the probabilistic linguistic multiple attribute group decision making (PL-MAGDM) with incomplete weight information. In such method, the linguistic information firstly is shifted into probabilistic linguistic information. For obtaining the weight information of the attribute, two optimization models are built on the basis of the basic idea of grey relational analysis (GRA), by which the attribute weights can be obtained. Then, the optimal alternative is obtained through calculating largest relative relational degree from the probabilistic linguistic positive ideal solution (PLPIS) which considers both the largest grey relational coefficient (GRC) from the PLPIS and the smallest GRC form probabilistic linguistic negative ideal solution (PLNIS). Finally, a case study for waste incineration plants location problem is given to demonstrate the advantages of the developed methods.

The pure linguistic multiple attribute decision making problems are studied, in which the information about the attribute weights are expressed in the form of linguistic variables or uncertain linguistic variables, and the attribute values take the form of uncertain linguistic variables. The operational laws of uncertain linguistic variables are introduced, and two uncertain linguistic aggregation operators called linguistic weighted aggregation operator and uncertain linguistic weighted aggregation operator are developed based on uncertain linguistic variables and their operational laws. An approach based on the developed operators for pure linguistic multiple attribute decision making under uncertainty is proposed. The prominent characteristic of the proposed approach is that it can compute with uncertain linguistic information directly. Furthermore, the approach is straightforward and does not produce any loss of information. Finally, an illustrative example is given.

Considering the advantages of trapezoid fuzzy two-dimensional linguistic variables (TrF2DLVs), which can not only accurately describe the qualitative evaluation but also use qualitative linguistic variables (LVs) to describe the confidence level of this evaluation in the second dimension, this paper proposes a novel method based on trapezoidal fuzzy two-dimensional linguistic information to solve multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems with unknown attribute weight. First, a combination weight model is constructed, which covers a subjective weight determination model based on the proposed trapezoidal fuzzy two-dimensional linguistic best-worst method (TrF2DL-BWM) and an objective weight determination model based on the proposed CRITIC method. Then, in order to accurately rank the alternatives, an extended VIKOR-QUALIFLEX method is proposed, which can measure the concordance index of each ranking combination by means of group utility and individual maximum regret value of each evaluation alternative. Finally, a practical problem of lean management assessment for industrial residential projects is solved by the proposed method, and the effectiveness and advantages of the method are demonstrated by comparative analysis and discussion.
