Type-1 OWA methodology to consensus reaching processes in multi-granular linguistic contexts

作者：

Highlights：

• A new approach to consensus reaching processes in multi–granular linguistic contexts is proposed.

• The Type-1 Ordered Weighted Averaging operator supports this new consensus methodology.

• The unification process carried out by previous models is not just required.

• Balanced and Unbalanced linguistic term sets can be directly aggregated and therefore it can be seen as a more general model.
