  • Abstract
    We present a new aggregation operator that uses the probability and the weighted average in the same formulation. Moreover, we consider a situation where the information is uncertain and can be represented with fuzzy numbers. We call this new aggregation operator the fuzzy probabilistic weighted average (FPWA) operator. We study some of its main properties. We also study its applicability and we focus on a business decision making problem about the selection of monetary policies.
