TLDR
The main aim of this paper is to study the effect of modeling this nonlinear behavior of experts' preferences (expressed by fuzzy preference relations) in CRPs by using nonlinear deformations which amplify or reduce the distance between the extreme values.Abstract:
Consensus Reaching Processes (CRPs) deal with those group decision‐making situations in which conflicts among experts' opinions make difficult the reaching of an agreed solution. This situation, worsens in large‐scale group decision situations, in which opinions tend to be more polarized, because in problems with extreme opinions it is harder to reach an agreement. Several studies have shown that experts' preferences may not always follow a linear scale, as it has commonly been assumed in previous CRP. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to study the effect of modeling this nonlinear behavior of experts' preferences (expressed by fuzzy preference relations) in CRPs. To do that, the experts' preferences will be remapped by using nonlinear deformations which amplify or reduce the distance between the extreme values. We introduce such automorphisms to remap the preferences as Extreme Values Amplifications (EVAs) and Extreme Values Reductions (EVRs), study their main properties and propose several families of these EVA and EVR functions. An analysis about the behavior of EVAs and EVRs when are implemented in a generic consensus model is then developed. Finally, an illustrative experiment to study the performance of different families of EVAs in CRPs is provided.read more

A consensus model for multiperson decision making with different preference structures
TL;DR: The main improvement of this consensus model is that it supports consensus process automatically, without moderator, and, in such a way, the possible subjectivity that the moderator can introduce in the consensus process is avoided.

Managing Multigranular Linguistic Distribution Assessments in Large-Scale Multiattribute Group Decision Making
TL;DR: In this article, an approach to linguistic large-scale multi-attribute group decision making is proposed and applied to a talent selection process in universities, which not only operates with multigranular linguistic distribution assessments but also can provide interpretable linguistic results to decision makers.
