Title
A modified method of generating Z-number based on OWA weights and maximum entropy
Abstract
How to generate Z-number is an important and open issue in the uncertain information processing of Z-number. In Kang et al. (Int J Intell Syst 33(8):1745-1755, 2018), a method of generating Z-number using OWA weight and maximum entropy is investigated. However, the meaning of the method in Kang et al. (2018) is not clear enough according to the definition of Z-number. Inspired by the methodology in Kang et al. (2018), we modify the method of determining Z-number based on OWA weights and maximum entropy, which is more clear about the meaning of Z-number. In addition, the model of generating Z-number under the environment of group decision making is well investigated based the modified model. Some numerical examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
