Executive summaries of uncertain values close to the gain/loss threshold – linguistic modelling perspective

作者：

Highlights：

• Linguistic approximation of fuzzy gain/loss values is investigated.

• Appropriateness of different types of linguistic scales is analysed.

• Performance of different distance/similarity measures of fuzzy numbers is analysed.

• Novel numerical analysis with graphical outputs is proposed for the purpose.

• Tools of choice for executive summaries of fuzzy gain/loss values are identified.
