Hierarchical combinatorial planning of medical treatment

Discussion on fuzzy decision making based on fuzzy number and compositional rule of inference

“…We know that The purpose of decision making for medical diagnosis is to provide a probability distribution to help physicians determine what disease is affecting a patient. Hence, the final result of the probability distribution in analytical representation in equations (16) and (18), in the numerical example of equations (22) and (24), that satisfies the row sum is equal to one. It reveals that the last step is normalization to make the row sum equal to one.…”

“…In addition, currently 27 papers have cited Yao and Yao [32] (such as Fenza et al [7]; Huang [13]; Hung [14]; Lin and Lee [19]; Fenza et al [6]; Mahmoodabadi et al [21]; Al-Hawari et al [4]; Ahn et al [1]; Mahmoodabadi et al [20]; Zeng [34]; Pal et al [22]; Goyal et al [8]; Ahn et al [3]; Zeng et al [35]; Rakus-Andersson [26]; Hong et al [12]; Fang and Huang [5]; Yao and Yu [31]; He and Jennings [9]; Levin and Sokolova [18]; He et al [10]). However, they have all failed to point out that the work of Yao and Yao [32] is questionable.…”
