In order to deal with this inconvenience, the transformation relationships among multigranular linguistic labels (TRMLLs), which are applied to unify linguistic labels with different granularities into a certain linguistic label set with fixed granularity, are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the reference tables are made according to TRMLLs so that the interrelated calculation will be less complicated, and the method of how to use them is explained in detail.
