Generalizing linguistic distributions in hesitant decision context

The hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) and the linguistic distribution (LD) are becoming popular tools to describe decision makers’ linguistic preferences. By combining HFLTS and LD, this paper proposes a new concept called hesitant linguistic distribution (HLD), and then presents the transf...
