Collective Wisdom-Driven Three-Way Decision in Risk Management (Uncertainty and Operations Research)

This book delves deeply into the research progress on three-way risk decision for risk management under complex social environment. From the new perspective of collective wisdom, it systematically explores three-way group decision-making methods and practical applications by considering group information fusion, consensus reaching process, group social network and group complex network. This book intends to provide a reference for researchers, practitioners and graduate students in the fields of risk management and decision analysis.
