Multiple-criteria decision-making is common in our daily life. The probabilistic linguistic term set is an effective tool to represent both simple and cognitive complex linguistic expressions given by individuals and groups completely. In this paper, the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations) is enhanced by integrating with a conflict analysis to solve general multiple-criteria decision-making problems with both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Firstly, to capture the inherent uncertainty of evaluations, interval numbers are used to expresses the values of quantitative criteria while probability linguistic term sets are used to scale the qualitative criteria. Then, a preference function for both quantitative and qualitative criteria is proposed. In addition, a conflict analysis is presented and added to the PROMETHEE, which can derive the preference, indifference, and incomparability (PIR) relations of alternatives. A reference point is given to select the thresholds for the PIR relations. Finally, the improved PROMETHEE is highlighted by a case study concerning site selection of the wind power plant.

定性和定量决策的PROMETHEE和冲突分析的集成方法：风电厂选址的案例研究

多准则决策在我们的日常生活中很常见。概率语言术语集是一种有效的工具，可以完全代表个人和群体给出的简单和认知复杂的语言表达。在本文中，通过与冲突分析相集成来解决具有定量和定性标准的一般多准则决策问题，增强了PROMETHEE（用于富集评估的偏好排名组织METHod）。首先，为了捕获评估的内在不确定性，区间数用于表示定量标准的值，而概率语言术语集用于定性的标准。然后，提出了针对定量和定性标准的偏好函数。此外，提出了冲突分析并将其添加到PROMETHEE中，可以得出替代方案的偏好，冷漠和不可比性（PIR）关系。给出参考点以选择PIR关系的阈值。最后，有关风电厂选址的案例研究突出了改进的PROMETHEE。
