Linguistic variables can better approximate the fuzziness of man’s thinking, which are important tools for multiple attribute decision-making problems. This paper establishes the possibility-based ELECTRE II model under the environment of uncertain linguistic fuzzy variables and uncertain weight information. By introducing the degree of possibility to ELECTRE II model, the concordance set, the discordance set and the indifferent set are obtained, respectively. Furthermore, the concordance index is redefined by considering deviation index under the same attribute, by which the strong and weak relationships are constructed, and then the rank of alternatives is obtained. A numerical example about the evaluation of socio-economic systems is employed to illustrate the convenience and applicability of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
