Implications of estimating confidence intervals on group fuzzy decision making scores
作者：
Highlights：
• We examine the implications of confidence intervals for the aggregated mean scores.
• Confidence intervals provide an interval where the rank may be valid.
• A case study was used to compare mean score ranks against confidence intervals.
• No statistical differences in many cases between the top two alternatives.
• Confidence intervals should be considered when aggregating group scores.
