Issue:A concept of similarity for intuitionistic fuzzy sets and its use in the aggregation of experts' testimonies

{{issue/data | conference     = Seventh International Conference on IFSs, Sofia, 23-24 August 2003 | issue          = "Notes on IFS", Volume 9 (2003) Number 3, pages 51-59 | file           = NIFS-09-3-51-59.pdf | format         = PDF | size           = 133 | abstract       = In this article we apply a new measure of similarity to analyse the extent of agreement in a group of experts. The proposed measure takes into account not only a pure distance between intuitionistic fuzzy preferences but also examines if the compared preferences are more similar or more dissimilar. The agreement of a whole group is assessed via an aggregation of individual testimonies expressed by intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations.
