Distributed Linguistic Representations and Decision Making - Yuzhu Wu

This book provides a comprehensive perspective on the development of distributed linguistic representations in decision making, including the taxonomy of existing distributed linguistic representations, the key elements, and the classifications. It systematically investigates the formation of distributed linguistic representations and the methodology for the distributed linguistic information transformations and unifications, as well as the fusion and consensus reaching. This book studies the distributed linguistic information in MADM and the PIS-based applications of distributed linguistic information processing in decision making. Distributed linguistic representations are powerful tools for modelling the uncertainty and complexity of preference information in linguistic decision making. This book is written for researchers and postgraduates interested in linguistic decision making. Readers will find out lots of clear cues for distributed linguistic representations and distributed linguistic methodology to support decision making.
