Fuzzy Sets, Rough Sets, Multisets and Clustering
Popis: Producción Científica
In this contribution, we consider that a set of agents assess a set of alternatives through numbers in the unit interval. In this setting, we introduce a measure that assigns a degree of consensus to each subset of agents with respect to every subset of alternatives. This consensus measure is defined as 1 minus the outcome generated by a symmetric aggregation function to the distances between the corresponding individual assessments. We establish some properties of the consensus measure, some of them depending on the used aggregation function. We also introduce an agglomerative hierarchical clustering procedure that is generated by similarity functions based on the previous consensus measures
