Correlation measure of hesitant fuzzy soft sets and their application in decision making

Hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS) allows each element to have different number of parameters and the values of those parameters are represented by multiple possible membership values. HFSS is considered as a powerful tool to represent uncertain information in group decision-making process. In this study, we introduce the concept of correlation coefficient for HFSS and some of its properties. Using correlation coefficient of HFSS, we develop correlation efficiency which shows the significance of the HFSS. We also propose an algorithm to apply correlation coefficient in decision-making problem, where information is presented in hesitant fuzzy environment. In order to extend the application of HFSS, we propose correlation coefficient in the framework of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft set (IVHFSS). We also introduce correlation efficiency in the context of IVHFSS. Then the proposed algorithm is extended using IVHFSS for solving decision-making problems. Finally, two examples that are semantically meaningful in real life are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

     

Correlation for Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Sets and Dual Interval‐Valued Hesitant Fuzzy Sets

Ever since fuzzy set has been introduced, several extensions have been established, such as interval‐valued fuzzy sets, Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval‐valued Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets, fuzzy multisets, hesitant fuzzy sets, interval‐valued hesitant fuzzy sets, and dual hesitant fuzzy sets. In this contribution, we propose dual interval‐valued hesitant fuzzy sets, which encompass fuzzy sets and its aforementioned extensions as special cases. Because of the importance of correlation measure in data analysis, we propose an approach for deriving the correlation coefficient of dual hesitant fuzzy sets, and then extend the approach to the dual interval‐valued hesitant fuzzy set theory. We also put forward some formulas to create new correlation coefficients for fuzzy sets and its extensions in a general way. In addition, we give a practical example to illustrate the application of correlation coefficient for dual hesitant fuzzy sets in medical diagnosis.     

Correlation coefficient of single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy sets and its applications in decision making

As a combination of the hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) and the single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS), the single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy set (SVNHFS) is an important concept to handle uncertain and vague information existing in real life, which consists of three membership functions including hesitancy, as the truth-hesitancy membership function, the indeterminacy-hesitancy membership function and the falsity-hesitancy membership function, and encompasses the fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), HFS, dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) and SVNS. Correlation and correlation coefficient have been applied widely in many research domains and practical fields. This paper, motivated by the idea of correlation coefficients derived for HFSs, IFSs, DHFSs and SVNSs, focuses on the correlation and correlation coefficient of SVNHFSs and investigates their some basic properties in detail. By using the weighted correlation coefficient information between each alternative and the optimal alternative, a decision-making method is established to handling the single-valued neutrosophic hesitant fuzzy information. Finally, an effective example is used to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed approach in decision making, and the relationship between the each existing method and the developed method is given as a comparison study.

     

On distance and correlation measures of hesitant fuzzy information

A hesitant fuzzy set, allowing the membership of an element to be a set of several possible values, is very useful to express people's hesitancy in daily life. In this paper, we define the distance and correlation measures for hesitant fuzzy information and then discuss their properties in detail. These measures are all defined under the assumption that the values in all hesitant fuzzy elements (the fundamental units of hesitant fuzzy sets) are arranged in an increasing order and two hesitant fuzzy elements have the same length when we compare them. We can find that the results, by using the developed distance measures, are the smallest ones among those when the values in two hesitant fuzzy elements are arranged in any permutations. In addition, the derived correlation coefficients are based on different linear relationships and may have different results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
