The role of distance/similarity measures in the linguistic approximation of triangular fuzzy numbers
Original language description
Linguistic approximation is a common way of translating the outputs of mathematical models in the expressions in common language. These can then provide an easy-to-understand alternative to the numerical outputs of formal models. As such linguistically approximated outputs can facilitate the interpretability of the outputs of the models and reduce their possibility misuse. However, linguistic approximation remains an underresearched area and best practices in management, economics, decision support, social science and behavioural research are missing. The paper explores the performance of two selected distance measures of fuzzy numbers and two different fuzzy similarity measures in the context of linguistic approximation. Triangular fuzzy numbers are considered as the approximated entities, their symmetry is not required. We present the results of a numerical experiment performed to map the behaviour of the four distance/similarity measures under uniform output linguistic scales.
