Abstract:
Linguistic distribution assessments with probabilistic information are a flexible means to express the opinions of decision makers (DMs) with importance degree of each linguistic term. Therefore, research on multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with linguistic distribution assessments is increasing. However, the probability distribution is usually only partially known. In order to obtain the complete probability distribution information, we propose the concept of stochastic linguistic term (SLT) with the aid of stochastic analysis. The SLT is an extension of general linguistic terms. Linguistic assessments with different models can be expressed as SLTs with complete probability distributions. Then the weighted averaging operator and score function of SLTs are presented. Considering the psychological behavior of DMs in decision making, we combine prospect theory and SLTs to handle uncertainty in MAGDM problems. Considering 2-tuple aspirations on attributes, a new MAGDM method with stochastic uncertainty based on prospect theory under linguistic assessments is proposed. Finally, a numeric example and comparative analysis illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
