Consensus and Consistency Level Optimization of Fuzzy Preference Relation: A Soft Computing Approach


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In group decision making (GDM) problems fuzzy preference relations (FPR) are widely used for representing decision makers opinions on the set of alternatives. In order to avoid misleading solutions, the study of consistency and consensus has become a very important aspect. This article presents a simulated annealing (SA) based soft computing approach to optimize the consistency/consensus level (CCL) of a complete fuzzy preference relation in order to solve a GDM problem. Consistency level indicates as experts preference quality and consensus level measures the degree of agreement among experts opinions. This study also suggests the set of experts for the necessary modifications in their prescribed preference structures without intervention of any moderator.
