Abstract
Talent training quality is an important field within higher education research. Innovating the talent training mode and deepening educational reform programs are both of great significance for enhancing the quality of postgraduate innovation and entrepreneurship education in universities. In this study, Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) I and II methods are extended with the probability linguistic term set (PLTS) to accurately express and quantitatively evaluate the reform scheme of postgraduate innovation and entrepreneurship education talent training mode under the big data environment. First, probabilistic linguistic PROMETHEE I and II methods are presented for quantitatively evaluating the reform scheme of postgraduate innovation and entrepreneurship education talent training, which have the advantages of good effectiveness and feasibility. Second, the PLTS is imported into the evaluation methods and applied to accurately depict qualitative information about the index data of the reform scheme effect by the degree of probability. Third, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with PLTS is proposed to perform a comparative study and conduct visual analysis to verify the effectiveness of the extended probabilistic linguistic PROMETHEE I and II methods. Fourth, an empirical example illustrates the specific evaluation process, verifies the feasibility of the extended methods, and explains the effectiveness of the results. The research findings indicate that the proposed method to reform scheme evaluation can lead to better decision quality, especially in a complex fuzzy and uncertain decision-making environment.
