Abstract
- Computing with Words (CW) is a methodology which takes an essential role in decision making problems, thus the first aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of CW in decision making. There are many proposals of CW models that can be classified in two main fields: approaches based on membership functions and approaches based on qualitative scales. This paper focuses on the qualitative scales since it provides a closer environment to human knowledge and more accurate results avoiding a loss of information. An analysis and discussion of the qualitative scales of linguistic values in CW for decision making is provided. Finally, we highlight the open challenges for the qualitative scales in linguistic decision making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
