Enhancing Decision-Making for Parents

Abstract

TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) is a mathematical approach employed in the context of multi-criteria decision-making. Its primary purpose is to establish a ranking among various alternatives by taking into consideration multiple attributes or criteria. This method utilizes distance metrics to gauge the nearness of each alternative to both the ideal and anti-ideal solutions. Ultimately, its goal is to facilitate the identification of the most optimal alternative. In this era of uncertainty, many parents grapple with myriad uncertainties when it comes to selecting the right educational institution for their children. This chapter provides an initial glimpse into the neutrosophic pythagorean plithogenic hypersoft set (N_pphs) along with its fundamental definition. Additionally, an algorithm has been devised for the TOPSIS methodology, accompanied by a practical numerical illustration. This is intended to assist parents in making an informed decision when choosing the most suitable school for their children with their set of criteria.
