A Novel Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Approach Based on Picture Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

Experts are using picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) in their probes to resolve the uncertain and vague information during the process of decision making because PFSs describe human attitudes naturally. Divergence measure (DM) plays a dominant role in discriminating between two distributions of probability and extracting consequences from that discrimination. In the present work, a novel picture fuzzy divergence measure (PF-DM) is developed between two PFSs. Some of the suggested measure’s important qualities are also discussed with particular situations to validate it. Based on the suggested PF-DM, a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model is established to grab the fuzzy information. The suggested measure’s performance is compared to that of various existing measures in the literature. An MCDM model has been proven for the usefulness of the suggested technique in dealing with real-life scenarios in the context of dengue sickness and pattern identification. Validation of the suggested MCDM model has been further investigated using validity testing. To improve the generated model, a thorough comparison with several current methodologies has been carried out while taking the time complexity (TC) factor into account.

Ranking of Downstream Fish Passage Designs for a Hydroelectric Project under Spherical Fuzzy Bipolar Soft Framework

“…Wei [20,21] provided similarity measures for picture fuzzy sets. Karamti et al [22] applied PFSs for evaluating pedagogic systems to enhance the e-learning system. Recently, Singh and Ganie [23] provided the application of picture fuzzy correlation coefficient in pattern analysis.…”

“…In [16], the authors provided a method for classifying representable picture t-norms and t-conorms that are compatible with PFSs. It is also important to discuss recent advancements in PFSs, such as those listed in [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
