TLDR
A fuzzy version of Saaty's pairwise comparison method (1980) extended by de Graan and Lootsma (1981), adapted in such a way, that decision-makers are asked to express their opinions in fuzzy numbers with triangular membership functions.About:

Revisiting Fuzzy and Linguistic Decision Making: Scenarios and Challenges for Making Wiser Decisions in a Better Way
Enrique Herrera-Viedma,Iván Palomares,Cong-Cong Li,Francisco Javier Cabrerizo,Yucheng Dong,Francisco Chiclana,Francisco Herrera +6 more
TL;DR: Fuzzy and linguistic decision-making approaches allow to address complex real-world decision problems where humans exhibit vagueness, imprecision, and/or use natural language to assess decision alternatives, criteria, etc as mentioned in this paper.

Paper: Rating and ranking of multiple-aspect alternatives using fuzzy sets
TL;DR: A method to deal with multiple-alternative decision problems under uncertainty by considering each of these variables as fuzzy quantities, characterized by appropriate membership functions of fuzzy sets induced by mappings is proposed.

Comparison of fuzzy sets on the same decision space
James F. Baldwin,N.C.F. Guild +1 more
TL;DR: Methods of evaluating the parameter used in decision-making are given which can be varied to incorporate different utility functions and a new approach is described which overcomes their drawbacks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A procedure for multiple-aspect decision making using fuzzy sets
TL;DR: The qualitative terms of the alternatives are represented quantitatively using fuzzy sots and then the fuzzy optimal alternative is computed and gives the relative merit of each alternative and thus helps in decision making.

Saaty's priority theory and the nomination of a senior professor in operations Research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly sketch Saaty's priority theory which has been developed to assign weights (priorities) to a multiple of decision criteria via pairwise comparison of the criteria.
