Abstract

In this paper, we introduce ordinal proximity measures in the setting of unbalanced qualitative scales by comparing the proximities between linguistic terms without numbers, in a purely ordinal approach. With this new tool, we propose how to measure the consensus in a set of agents when they assess a set of alternatives through an unbalanced qualitative scale. We also introduce an agglomerative hierarchical clustering procedure based on these consensus measures.
