BACKGROUND Determining the most suitable anesthesia method for circumcision surgery plays a fundamental role in pediatric surgery. This study is aimed to present pediatric surgeons' perspective on the relative importance of the criteria for selecting anesthesia method for circumcision surgery by utilizing the multi-criteria decision making methods. METHODS Fuzzy set theory offers a useful too...

One of the critical activities for outsourcing success is outsourcing provider selection, which may be regarded as a type of fuzzy heterogeneous multiattribute decision making (MADM) problems with fuzzy truth degrees and incomplete weight information. The aim of this paper is to develop a new fuzzy linear programming method for solving such MADM problems. In this method, the decision maker’s pr...

Intuitionistic fuzzy parameterized intuitionistic soft matrices (ifpifs-matrices), proposed by Enginoğlu and Arslan in 2020, are worth utilizing data classification supervised learning due to coming into prominence with their ability model decision-making problems. This study aims define the concepts metrics, quasi-, semi-, pseudo-metrics similarities, pseudo-similarities over ifpifs-matrices; ...

One of the simplest and most widely used multiple comparison tests is the Bonferroni adjustment (test). It is applicable to the following situations: 1) Regardless of whether or not the sample sizes of each group are equal. 2) When the family of interest is the particular set of comparisons (not all pair-wise comparisons). We can easily obtain the results of the Bonferroni comparison by multipl...

In this study, a novel approach which uses combination of steganography and cryptography for hiding information into digital images as host media is proposed. In the process, secret data is first encrypted using the mono-alphabetic substitution cipher method and then the encrypted secret data is embedded inside an image using an algorithm which combines the random patterns based on Space Fillin...

Consistency retrieval from a biased relative preference table is an imperative task in decision theory This paper considers the least squares approximation of a pairwise comparison matrix by consistent matrices It is observed that the highly nonlinear manifold of consistent matrices can be changed into a linear subspace by the component wise logarithmic transformation A rst order optimality con...

We introduce the concept of sandwich set of two fuzzy matrices.By using the new concept of sandwich set, we provide a method for finding a semi inverse of max-min product of fuzzy matrices. 1. Introduction Generalized inverse of matrices and its applications are studied by Rao and Mitra[3]. Ren et.al[4] introduced the concept of sandwich sets of matrices. By using the sandwich sets of matrices,...

Intuitionistic fuzzy relations on finite universes can be represent by intuitionistic fuzzy matrices and the limiting behavior of the power matrices depends on the algebraic operation employed on the matrices. In this paper, the power of intuitionistic fuzzy matrices with maxgeneralized mean-mingeneralized mean operation have been studied. Here it is shown that the power of intuitionistic fuzzy...

In 1965, Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy subsets. Latter many authors defined different directions of fuzzy subsets. Turksen (1986) generalized the concept of fuzzy set in terms of interval-valued fuzzy set (IVFS). Several researchers present a number of results using IVFSs. Using these concept of (IVFS) Pal and Shyamal (2006) introduced interval-valued fuzzy matrices and shown several pr...
