Abstract

This paper presents a new fuzzy decision making method based on likelihood-based comparison relations of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets. We also present a similarity measure between hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets. The proposed method is more simple for fuzzy decision making than the method presented in [18]. It provides us with a useful way for decision making in a fuzzy environment.
