Abstract
En 中文
Multi-attribute group classification (MAGC) is widely used in dealing with a variety of practical problems. However, cognitive biases, resulting from factors such as irrational behaviors, epistemic uncertainty, and interference phenomena, may critically affect the consensus reaching process (CRP) of MAGC. To eliminate such influences, this study proposes an ordinal classification consensus model in a linguistic environment based on quantum probability theory (QPT), with the aim of classifying the alternatives into several predefined ordinal classifications accepted by a majority of experts. First, the linguistic distribution assessments (LDAs), which can depict the quantitative distribution and qualitative vagueness, are used to express the uncertain preference of experts. Second, the LDAs best-worst method (BWM) and LDAs maximizing deviation model (MDM) are developed to identify the subjective and objective weight of attributes, and then these two types of attributes weight are integrated by quantum-like Bayesian networks (QLBN). Third, a maximum consensus model (MCM), maximizing the consensus level of ordinal classification results of experts, is provided to determine the parameters of QLBN. When the consensus level is lower than the predetermined threshold, a minimum adjustment distance model (MADM) is designed to guide the preference-modification of experts to derive the consensus classification of alternatives. Finally, a risk assessment case study is conducted to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. Sensitivity analysis and comparison analysis are performed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
