Abstract :
To estimate how close the positions of different experts are, W. J. Tastle and M. J. Wierman proposed numerical measures of dissention and consensus, and showed that these measures indeed capture the intuitive ideas of dissent and consensus. Karen Villaverde and Olga Kosheleva showed that the Tastle-Wierman formulas can be naturally derived from the basic formulae of fuzzy logic. Here we build on this work to examine how to deal with consensus in a multidimensional setting.
