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...

Recently, a novel hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) ranking technique based on the idea of lexicographical ordering is proposed and an example is presented to demonstrate that the proposed ranking method is invariant with multiple occurrences of any element of a hesitant fuzzy element (HFE). In this paper, we show by examples that the HFS lexicographical ordering method is sometimes invalid, and a modif...

Dimensional analysis under linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy set (DA-LPFS) is a technique to handle qualitative (intangible) as well the interactions between criteria, by combining dimensional (DA) and (PFS) with variables. In this paper, novel DA method proposed for LPFSs based in PFS extension, order consider mutual relationship among criteria (fuzzy) quantitative (crisp) information usually invol...

Due to importance of correlation measure in data analysis, some researchers have shown great interest in the concept of correlation measure for extensions of fuzzy sets, in particular, for a new extension known as hesitant fuzzy set (HFS). Recently, an extension of HFS called the weighted hesitant fuzzy set (WHFS) has been developed by Zhang and Wu [1] to allow the membership of a given element...

We introduce the concepts of entropy and cross-entropy for hesitant fuzzy information, and discuss their desirable properties. Several measure formulas are further developed, and the relationships among the proposed entropy, cross-entropy, and similarity measures are analyzed, from which we can find that three measures are interchangeable under certain conditions. Then we develop two multiattri...

The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) model for international tourist hotel location selection. In this article we created 21 criteria for selecting the international tourist hotel location acquired from literatures review and practical investigations. And the methods of fuzzy set theory, linguistic value, hierarchical structure analysis, an...

Credibility reasoning has attracted a lot of attention due to its distinguished power and efficiency in representing uncertainty vagueness within the process decision making. Aiming at problem inaccurate credibility estimation making experts express hesitant preferences better evaluation process, this paper introduces fuzzy linguistic term set into reasoning. First, we propose linguistic-valued...
