Multiple Attribute Decision-Making Method Using Correlation Coefficients of Normal Neutrosophic Sets

چکیده

The normal distribution is a usual one of various distributions in the real world. A normal neutrosophic set (NNS) is composed of both a normal fuzzy number and a neutrosophic number, which a significant tool for describing the incompleteness, indeterminacy, and inconsistency of the decision-making information. In this paper, we propose two correlation coefficients between NNSs based on the score functions of normal neutrosophic numbers (NNNs) (basic elements in NNSs) and investigate their properties. Then, we develop a multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) method with NNSs under normal neutrosophic environments, where, by correlation coefficient values between each alternative (each evaluated NNS) and the ideal alternative (the ideal NNS), the ranking order of alternatives and the best one are given in the normal neutrosophic decision-making process. Finally, an illustrative example about the selection problem of investment alternatives is provided to demonstrate the application and feasibility of the developed decision-making method. Compared to the existing MADM approaches based on aggregation operators of NNNs, the proposed MADM method based on the correlation coefficients of NNSs shows the advantage of its simple decision-making process.

Correlation coefficients of simplified neutrosophic sets and their multiple attribute decision-making method

The paper presents two new correlation coefficients of simplified neutrosophic sets (SNSs) as the further extension of the correlation coefficient of single valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and investigates their properties. Then a multiple attribute decision-making method is proposed based on the weighted correlation coefficients of SNSs, in which the evaluation information for alternatives wi...

Correlation Coefficients of Interval Neutrosophic Hesitant Fuzzy Sets and Its Application in a Multiple Attribute Decision Making Method

Abstract. This paper proposes the concept of an interval neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (INHFS) and the operational relations of INHFSs. Then, we develop correlation coefficients of INHFSs and investigate the relation between the similarity measures and the correlation coefficients. Furthermore, a multiple attribute decision making method based on the correlation coefficients is established un...

Another Form of Correlation Coefficient between Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets and Its Multiple Attribute Decision- Making Method

A single valued neutrosophic set (SVNS), which is the subclass of a neutrosophic set, can be considered as a powerful tool to express the indeterminate and inconsistent information in the process of decision making. Then, correlation is one of the most broadly applied indices in many fields and also an important measure in data analysis and classification, pattern recognition, decision making a...

Some Generalized Single Valued Neutrosophic Linguistic Operators and Their Application to Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making

This paper proposes a group decision making method based on entropy of neutrosophic linguistic sets and generalized single valued neutrosophic linguistic operators. This method is applied to solve the multiple attribute group decision making problems under single valued neutrosophic liguistic environment, in which the attribute weights are completely unknown. First, the attribute weights are ob...

Horizontal representation of a hesitant fuzzy set and its application to multiple attribute decision making

The main aim of this paper is to present a novel method for ranking hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) based on transforming HFSs into fuzzy sets (FSs). The idea behind the method is an interesting HFS decomposition which is referred here to as the horizontal representation in the current study. To show the validity of the proposed ranking method, we apply it to solve a multi-attribute decision-making ...
