Type-2 Fuzzy Approach in Multi Attribute Group Decision Making Problem

The use of fuzzy linguistic expressions in group decision making process has been considered by several authors. However, to the best of our knowledge, none have applied Type2 Fuzzy Multi Attribute Group Decision Making (T2F-MAGDM), where referees are weighted based on their credibility and the level of their knowledge in the specific area by linguistic terms. In this paper, a T2F-MAGDM model, with the capability of considering different linguistic weights for the credibility of the experts, is presented.
