Correlation Coefficients for Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Sets

Authors

Abstract:

Here are many situations in real applications of decision making where we deal with uncertain conditions.  Due to the different sources of uncertainty,  since its original definition of fuzzy sets in 1965 cite{zadeh1965},  different generalizations and extensions of fuzzy sets have been introduced: Type-2 fuzzy sets cite{6,13}, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets cite{1}, fuzzy multi-sets cite{37} and etc. However, in such cases, it is suitable for experts to provide their preferences or assessments by using linguistic information rather than quantitative values.

Correlation coefficients of linguistic interval hesitant fuzzy sets and their application

To address the hesitancy, inconsistency and uncertainty of decision makers’ cognitions, linguistic interval hesitant fuzzy sets (LIHFSs) are efficient tools. This paper focuses on studying the application of LIHFSs. To do this, two correlation coefficients of LIHFSs are defined, which needn't consider the length of elements in LIHFSs or the arrangement of their possible interval values. To addr...

An outranking approach for multi-criteria decision-making with hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets

The main purpose of this paper is to suggest an approach of multi-criteria decision-making that combines a hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) with an outranking method involving systematic comparisons of the assessment values of alternatives for each criterion. A HFLTS is more suitable than the traditional fuzzy linguistic set for describing decision-makers’ preferences when they prefer...

Correlation Coefficients of Extended Hesitant Fuzzy Sets and Their Applications to Decision Makin

Extended hesitant fuzzy sets (EHFSs), which allow the membership degree of an element to a set represented by several possible value-groups, can be considered as a powerful tool to express uncertain information in the process of group decision making. Therefore, we derive some correlation coefficients between EHFSs, which contain two cases, the correlation coefficients taking into account the l...

Correlation coefficients of single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy sets and their applications in decision making

As a combination of the hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) and the single valued neutrosophic set (SVNS), the single valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) is an important concept to handle uncertain and vague information existing in real-life, which consists of three membership functions including hesitancy, as the truth-hesitancy membership function, the indeterminacy-hesitancy membership func...
