Abstract :
We approach the problem of measuring consensus for a set of real inputs by aggregating the fuzzy implication degrees between each pair of inputs. We compare our operator with existing consensus measures in terms of their satisfaction of desirable properties. The appeal of such an approach lies in the interpretability and flexibility that results from component-wise construction which we modeled on the Bonferroni mean. We also outline some intentions for future research.
