Review text

By using trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, the authors propose a weighting technique to aggregate the opinions of various experts on the basis of their relative importance (or training). The uncertainty measure of a trapezoidal fuzzy number is defined as the area under its membership, and the distance between two trapezoidal numbers is defined in terms of alpha cut. One can then arrive at a definition of similarity matrix, by means of which one can obtain the aggregation modeling. Some illustrative examples are given.
