模糊偏好关系下考虑从众行为的群体共识决策方法

随着决策面临的环境越来越复杂,个人决策因其局限性难以达到有效决策的标准,致使群体决策变得更为常见;而当决策者行动时,常需考虑他人的判断和行为,使得从众行为成为群体决策中的重要影响因素.因此,文章基于模糊偏好关系提出一种考虑从众行为的群体共识决策方法,能有效节省达成共识所付出的成本.首先,根据模糊偏好关系的特征,设计一致性检验方法和调整模型,为后续的共识达成提供可靠的偏好关系.其次,考虑到专家受到群体规范的压力而产生从众行为,从而对初始效用值进行修正.然后,提出考虑从众行为的最小成本共识模型,进一步设计相应的共识达成算法.最后,计算各已选方案到理想点的距离,运用TOPSIS方法对已选方案进行排序,并通过一个企业产品升级改良的算例来分析说明所提方法是有效的和可行的.

集中,分组,分组后集中:探究三种群体结构对群体决策能力的影响

采用基于Agent仿真的方法,研究决策问题不可分时,集中网络、分组网络、分组后集中网络对群体决策能力的影响。三种群体结构分别对应于三种群决策模式:集中决策、分组决策、分组后集中决策。仿真结果表明,仅当问题较为简单、分组适当、个体学习速率较低时,分组决策才小幅优于集中决策。分组后集中决策并不受问题复杂度、分组数和个体学习速率的影响,总是优于集中决策和分组决策。但为了提高分组后集中决策的决策能力,面对简单问题时,应适当减少分组、维持较低的个体学习速率;面对复杂问题时,应适当增加分组、维持适中的个体学习速率。此外,分组后集中决策的集中时机与群体决策能力呈倒U关系,并不受问题复杂度、分组数和个体学习速率的影响,但相对较早的集中时机更有利于解决很复杂的问题。     

考虑非合作行为的社会网络大群体共识决策模型

在社会网络环境下的大群体决策问题当中,决策专家之间的社会网络关系对决策过程和结果的影响至关重要.文章创新地提出一种考虑决策专家社会网络关系和非合作行为的大群体共识决策模型,有效促进大群体共识的达成.首先,根据决策专家的偏好信息和社会网络关系,改进经典Louvain社区发现算法,对大决策群体进行社区划分.其次,运用社会网络分析方法确定决策专家个体和社区的权重.随后,根据决策专家的偏离程度对决策专家非合作行为进行识别,并考虑社会网络关系的影响对非合作行为进行管理,以此构建共识决策模型.最后,通过案例分析来验证所建立共识决策模型的可行性和有效性.文章构建的共识决策模型,不仅在大群体社区划分过程中,创新性地同时考虑决策专家的偏好信息和社会网络关系的影响,并且在非合作行为管理过程中,也考虑到了社会网络关系对非合作行为决策专家偏好调整的影响,使其更适应社会网络决策环境.

On consistency measures of linguistic preference relations

Inspired by the concept of deviation measure between two linguistic preference relations, this paper further defines the deviation measure of a linguistic preference relation to the set of consistent linguistic preference relations. Based on this, we present a consistency index of linguistic preference relations and develop a consistency measure method for linguistic preference relations. This method is performed to ensure that the decision maker is being neither random nor illogical in his or her pairwise comparisons using the linguistic label set. Using this consistency measure, we discuss how to deal with inconsistency in linguistic preference relations, and also investigate the consistency properties of collective linguistic preference relations. These results are of vital importance for group decision making with linguistic preference relations.     

A consistency and consensus-based method to group decision making with interval linguistic preference relations

Preference relations are a powerful tool to address decision-making problems. In some situations, because of the complexity of decision-making problems and the inherent uncertainty, the decision makers cannot express their preferences by using numerical values. Interval linguistic preference relations, which are more reliable and informative for the decision-makers’ preferences, are a good choice to cope with this issue. Just as with the other types of preference relations, the consistency and consensus analysis is very importance to ensure the reasonable ranking order by using interval linguistic preference relations. Considering this situation, this paper introduces a consistency concept for interval linguistic preference relations. To measure the consistency of interval linguistic preference relations, a consistency measure is defined. Then, a consistency-based programming model is built, by which the consistent linguistic preference relations with respect to each object can be obtained. To cope with the inconsistency case, two models for deriving the adjusted consistent linguistic preference relations are constructed. Then, a consistency-based programming model to estimate the missing values is built. After that, we present a group consensus index and present some of its desirable properties. Furthermore, a group consensus-based model to determine the weights of the decision makers with respect to each object is established. Finally, an approach to group decision making with interval linguistic preference relations is developed, which is based on the consistency and consensus analysis. Meanwhile, the associated numerical examples are offered to illustrate the application of the procedure.     

A goal programming model for incomplete interval multiplicative preference relations and its application in group decision-making

In decision making problems, there may be the cases where the decision makers express their judgements by using preference relations with incomplete information. Then one of the key issues is how to estimate the missing preference values. In this paper, we introduce an incomplete interval multiplicative preference relation and give the definitions of consistent and acceptable incomplete ones, respectively. Based on the consistency property of interval multiplicative preference relations, a goal programming model is proposed to complement the acceptable incomplete one. A new algorithm of obtaining the priority vector from incomplete interval multiplicative preference relations is given. The goal programming model is further applied to group decision-making (GDM) where the experts evaluate their preferences as acceptable incomplete interval multiplicative preference relations. An interval weighted geometric averaging (IWGA) operator is proposed to aggregate individual preference relations into a social one. Furthermore, the social interval multiplicative preference relation owns acceptable consistency when every individual one is acceptably consistent. Two numerical examples are carried out to show the efficiency of the proposed goal programming model and the algorithms.     

基于UGC大数据挖掘的大群体两阶段风险性应急决策方法

针对在重大突发事件应急决策大数据环境下决策者偏好的不确定性及偏离群体一致性导致的风险,提出一种基于UGC大数据挖掘的大群体两阶段风险性应急决策方法。首先,通过数据挖掘和自然语言处理方法从UGC中获取公众对事件的偏好信息并构建应急决策属性体系,利用TF-IDF方法结合专家评估信息确定属性权重;其次,建立一个意见开放式的两阶段决策流程,提出依据决策者意见的可靠度和准确度量化决策风险,利用聚类方法得到相应的成员权重,并使用TOPSIS法对决策方案进行排序。最后通过天津港“8·12”重大爆炸事故的案例分析和对比验证了所提出方法的可行性和有效性。

Consistency analysis of triangular fuzzy reciprocal preference relations

In order to simulate the uncertainty associated with impression or vagueness, a decision maker may give her/his judgments by means of triangular fuzzy reciprocal preference relations in the process of decision making. The study of their consistency becomes a very important aspect to avoid a misleading solution. Based on the reciprocity property, this paper proposes a new definition of consistent triangular fuzzy reciprocal preference relations. The new definition is different from that reduced by consistent fuzzy reciprocal preference relations proposed by Buckley (1985). The properties of consistent triangular fuzzy reciprocal preference relations in the light of the new definition are studied in detail. In addition, the shortcomings of the proof procedure of the proposition given by Wang and Chen (2008) are pointed out. And the proposition is reproved by using the new definition of consistent triangular fuzzy reciprocal preference relations. Finally, using the (n − 1) restricted comparison ratios, a method for obtaining consistent triangular fuzzy reciprocal preference relations is proposed, and an algorithm is shown to make a consistent decision ranking. Numerical results are further calculated to illustrate the new definition and the obtained algorithm.     

Derivation of intuitionistic fuzzy weights based on intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations

This paper proposes linear goal programming models for deriving intuitionistic fuzzy weights from intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations. Novel definitions are put forward to define additive consistency and weak transitivity for intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations, followed by a study of their corresponding properties. For any given normalized intuitionistic fuzzy weight vector, a transformation formula is furnished to convert the weights into a consistent intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation. For any intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation, a linear goal programming model is developed to obtain its intuitionistic fuzzy weights by minimizing its deviation from the converted consistent intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation. This approach is then extended to group decision-making situations. Three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity and applicability of the proposed models.     

A Direct Approach to Group Decision Making with Uncertain Additive Linguistic Preference Relations

In this paper, we study the group decision-making problem in which the preference information given by experts takes the form of uncertain additive linguistic preference relations. We define the concept of uncertain additive linguistic preference relation, and introduce a formula based on possibility measure for comparing two uncertain linguistic preference values. We introduce some aggregation operators such as the uncertain linguistic averaging (ULA) operator and uncertain linguistic weighted averaging (ULWA) operator, etc. Based on the ULA and ULWA operators, we develop a direct approach to group decision making with uncertain additive linguistic preference relations without loss of information. Finally, an illustrative numerical example is given to verify the developed approach.
