Similarity–trust network for clustering‐based consensus group decision‐making model

Abstract: Trust relation, as defined in Social Network Analysis (SNA), is one of the recent notions considered in decision making. This inspired our integration of trust relation in constructing a similarity-trust network. Similarity of experts' preferences is analyzed inclusively with trust relation by defining a new combination function of both attributes. The agglomerative hierarchical clustering approach is applied to group experts into subclusters based on the constructed similaritytrust degrees. The centrality con… Show more

“…All the methods we use extensively like VIKOR, TOPSIS, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE are used to analyze the best alternatives based on certain factors and select the optimal alternative. 45,46 These MCDM methods are used by most researchers and industry experts in various fields such as supply chain management, construction and project management, information technology management, energy, environmental and sustainability, GIS landslide susceptibility mapping, and so forth. 47,48 When using MCDM technology for material selection or machine tool selection, we can easily rank with the actual performance of the alternatives.…”

“…An important question lingers about what exactly counts as an “expert consensus.” Alas, there is no precise ratio or number that Kuhn (1962), Nersessian (1992), or any other philosopher of science has identified, and neither will entrepreneurship scholars be able to easily quantify “consensus.” Most consensus scholarship rejects definitions that rely on full unanimity of opinion in favor of a “soft” consensus that refers to a level of agreement (and dissension) among experts (Kacprzyk & Fedrizzi, 1986). While a “consensus” may be (and has been) empirically identifiable (e.g., Ahlim et al, 2022; Wang et al, 2021), we simply note that, as with many fuzzy concepts, scholars (and entrepreneurs and their stakeholders) will choose cutoffs and measures suited to their research questions for methodological purposes. We also note that assessments of consensus can refer either to a degree of agreement (determining if consensus exists), as we do above, or it can refer to the distance of an opinion from the consensus (e.g., Chiclana et al, 2015), which correspond to our notion of “how rogue” an opinion or claim is.…”

“…Although Equation ( 11) is derived from Equation (10), and Equation ( 10) contains no trade-off parameter for trading-off the lower-order part and the higher-order part, a trade-off analysis is conducted to investigate how the trade-off between the lower-order part and the higher-order part in Equation ( 11) affects the performance of the GHOC method. To this end, in this experiment, a trade-off parameter λ is inserted into Equation (11), which results in…”

“…In the past few years, motif-based higher-order community detection has attracted a large amount of attention in the field of network analysis. [1][2][3][4][5] Compared with the conventional lowerorder community detection only utilizing the lower-order connectivity pattern which can be captured at the level of individual nodes and edges, [6][7][8][9][10] higher-order community detection mainly relies on the higher-order connectivity pattern at the level of small subnetworks, namely motif. 1 In particular, motif is a dense subnetwork occurring in complex networks at numbers that are significantly higher than those in randomized networks preserving the same degree of nodes.…”
