Ordinal proximity measures in the context of unbalanced qualitativescales and some applications to consensus and clustering García Lapresta, José Luis Pérez Román, David Decision making In this paper, we introduce ordinal proximity measures in the setting of unbalanced qualitative scales by comparing the proximities between linguistic terms without numbers, in a purely ordinal approach. With this new tool, we propose how to measure the consensus in a set of agents when they assess a set of alternatives through an unbalanced qualitative scale. We also introduce an agglomerative hierarchical clustering procedure based on these consensus measures. 2016-12-09T13:45:00Z 2016-12-09T13:45:00Z 2016-12-09T13:45:00Z 2015 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Applied Soft Computing, 2015, vol. 35, p. 864–872 1568-4946 http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/21500 10.1016/j.asoc.2015.02.035 864 872 Applied Soft Computing 35 eng http://www.sciencedirect.com info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Elsevier
