Reliability-based ordinal consensus adjustment model for large scale group decision making
In large scale group decision-making (LSGDM), there are the substantial number of decision makers (DMs) with diverse knowledge, backgrounds, and interests related to the decision-making problem, and it is not possible to assure that all DMs are completely reliable.

| Sumario: | In large scale group decision-making (LSGDM), there are the substantial number of decision makers (DMs) with diverse knowledge, backgrounds, and interests related to the decision-making problem, and it is not possible to assure that all DMs are completely reliable. Thus, in order to enhance the quality of decision-making, it is necessary to analyze the reliabilities of DMs in LSGDM. This paper proposes the method to evaluate the reliabilities of DMs, sorts these DMs according to their degree of reliability, and investigates the consensus reaching process based on categories and an ordinal consensus measure. Considering the DMs' trust network, the uncertainty of a DM's evaluation information represented by a fuzzy preference relation (FPR), the deviation between a DM's FPR and those of the other DMs, and additive consistency of FPRs, the reliability of a DM is assessed using four criteria: PageRank centrality, professional competence, collaborative competence, and additive consistency. Following these reliability assessment criteria, ELECTRE-TRI is employed to sort DMs into three ordered categories according to DMs' different levels of reliability under the four assessment criteria. Furthermore, an improved ordinal consensus measure is designed to consider both the importance weights of positions and the deviation of Borda counts of the same alternative in two rankings. As for the consensus reaching process, due to the varied reliabilities of DMs in different categories, we propose a multiple strategies feedback mechanism for DMs in different categories. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the rationality and validity of the proposed model. |
