A new model for evaluating subjective online ratings with uncertain intervals
作者：
Highlights：
• A decision maker (DM) observes the numerical value assigned by raters to an alternative.
• The DM defines an uncertain interval within which the evaluation observed is contained.
• Its width depends on the subjective perception differences between the DM and the raters.
• The DM may improve upon an uncertain evaluation by retrieving more uncertain information.
• Several scenarios are built based on the capacity of the DM to fully assimilate uncertainty.
