Abstract
In real life, multi-criteria group decision making problems are usually tend to be qualitative. Decision makers (DMs) prefer to express their decision making information with natural language. The probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) is one of the most popular tools to assist DMs to display their respective decision-making information. To extend the PLTS, in this paper, we give the definition of dual probabilistic linguistic term sets (DPLTSs), which can reveal the complexity and uncertainty of this real world more accurately. In addition, we define some basic operation laws of the DPLTS. A score function and an accuracy function of the DPLTS are defined to compare two DPLTSs. Finally, we develop an aggregation operator of DPLTS for information fusion and use a specific case to demonstrate its availability and effectiveness.
