Speech Title: A Large-Scale Group Risk Emergency Decision Method Based on the Entropy of Fuzzy and Conflict

Abstract: Based on the decision risk caused by both the ambiguity of emergency decision information and the large group preference conflict, a large group risk emergency decision method based on the Entropy of Fuzzy and Conflict is proposed. The first, the decision group is clustered by preferences to form aggregation preference matrix. Second, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) distance is proposed in the form of intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) number in order to reduce the loss of preference information. And generalized IVIF number is also defined. Combining with prospect theory, the IF prospect matrix of different cluster is obtained by conversion. Then, large group emergency decision model of fuzzy conflict entropy is constructed, the goal is to minimize the risk in the process of emergency decision. According to the optimization model, the weight of every attribute can be got, and then prospect matrix and attribute’s weight are aggregated to figure out the comprehensive prospect values which decide the ranking of alternatives. Finally, a case analysis and comparison are used to illustrate the rationality and effectiveness of above method.
