Consensus reaching process for large-scale group decision making with double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference relations

作者:

Highlights:

• We study consensus reaching process for large-scale group decision making (LSGDM).

• We develop a clustering method for LSGDM based on information entropy theory.

• We propose a weights-determined method to get three kinds of weights information.

• We establish a LSGDM model, which can be used to deal with LSGDM step by step.

• A case study is set up to deal with a practical LSGDM problems.
