Various attempts have been made by researchers on the study of vagueness of data through intuitionistic fuzzy sets and vague sets, and also it was shown that vague sets are intuitionistic fuzzy sets. But there are algebraic and graphical differences between vague sets and intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper an attempt is made to define the correlation coefficient of interval vague sets lying in the interval [0, 1], and a new method for computing the correlation coefficient of interval vague sets lying in the interval [-1, 1] using a-cuts over the vague degrees through statistical confidence intervals is presented by an example. The new method proposed in this paper produces a correlation coefficient in the form of an interval.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
