Distance and similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy sets

In this paper, we propose a variety of distance measures for hesitant fuzzy sets, based on which the corresponding similarity measures can be obtained. We investigate the connections of the aforementioned distance measures and further develop a number of hesitant ordered weighted distance measures and hesitant ordered weighted similarity measures. They can alleviate the influence of unduly large (or small) deviations on the aggregation results by assigning them low (or high) weights. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate these distance and similarity measures.     

Normalized distance, similarity measure, inclusion measure and entropy of interval-valued fuzzy sets and their relationship

In this paper, we introduce an axiomatic definition of an interval-valued fuzzy sets’ inclusion measure which is different from Bustince’s [H. Bustince, Indicator of inclusion grade for interval-valued fuzzy sets, Applications to approximate reasoning based on interval-valued fuzzy sets, International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 23 (2000) 137-209]. The relationship among the normalized distance, the similarity measure, the inclusion measure, and the entropy of interval-valued fuzzy sets is investigated in detail. Furthermore, six theorems are proposed showing how the similarity measure, the inclusion measure, and the entropy of interval-valued fuzzy sets can be deduced by the interval-valued fuzzy sets’ normalized distance based on their axiomatic definitions. Some formulas have also been put forward to calculate the similarity measure, the inclusion measure, and the entropy of interval-valued fuzzy sets.

An efficient similarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets

We introduce a new methodology for measuring the degree of similarity between two intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The new method is developed on the basis of a distance defined on an interval by the use of convex combination of endpoints and also focusing on the property of min and max operators. It is shown that among the existing methods, the proposed method meets all the well-known properties of a similarity measure and has no counter-intuitive examples. The validity and applicability of the proposed similarity measure is illustrated with two examples known as pattern recognition and medical diagnosis.     

A hierarchy-based similarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Due to some unreasonable results obtained from most current similarity measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), we introduce a necessary condition to obtain a stronger definition of similarity measures for IFSs, and present a new similarity measure derived from a general idea of similarity measures for concepts on a lattice. In experiments, we focus our attention on two basic directions of performance evaluation: one is how much the proposed measure is reasonable and the other is how much accuracy the measure produces when it is applied to classification problems. The experimental results show that the proposed measure is reasonable and achieves a satisfactory performance on classification problems.     

Relationships between entropy and similarity measure of interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets

The concept of entropy of interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IvIFS) is first introduced. The close relationships between entropy and the similarity measure of interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets are discussed in detail. We also obtain some important theorems by which entropy and similarity measure of IvIFSs can be transformed into each other based on their axiomatic definitions. Simultaneously, some formulae to calculate entropy and similarity measure of IvIFSs are put forward. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

An activation detection based similarity measure for intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IF-sets), with mechanisms to represent both the degree of membership and hesitancy of a given entity with respect to a concept under consideration, have been proven to be a useful extension to Zadeh's fuzzy set theory. Noteworthy efforts by various researchers have been devoted to defining a robust similarity measure for a given pair of IF-sets, as we often need to quantify the similarity between given entities in application domains ranging from medical diagnosis to multiple criteria decision making. These efforts have shown that it is highly non-trivial to construct a truly robust IF-set similarity measure with easy-to-understand interpretations. In this article, grounded on native concepts from activation detection in medical image analysis, a model for determining the degree of similarity between IF-sets is proposed. An IF-set similarity measure (termed the activation detection based similarity measure) is then systematically built from this model. We show that the proposed measure produces results that are intuitively appealing, easy to understand, and can be robustly interpreted. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed measure obeys standard conventions regarding set definition in the classical setting, and is equivalent to the Jaccard's similarity measure as we transition from the intuitionistic fuzzy setting to the classical setting. The source code of the numerical implementation of the proposed measure is available from the author upon request.     

Inclusion measures,similarity measures,and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets and their relations

The inclusion measure, the similarity measure, and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets are three important measures in fuzzy set theory. In this article, we investigate the relations among inclusion measures, similarity measures, and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets, prove eight theorems that inclusion measures, similarity measures, and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets can be transformed by each other based on their axiomatic definitions, and propose some new formulas to calculate inclusion measures, similarity measures, and the fuzziness of fuzzy sets. These results can be applied in many fields, such as pattern recognition, image processing, fuzzy neural networks, fuzzy reasoning, and fuzzy control. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.

Entropy, similarity measure of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and their applications

In this paper we propose an entropy measure for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which generalizes three entropy measures defined independently by Szmidt, Wang and Huang, for intuitionistic fuzzy sets. We also give an approach to construct similarity measures using entropy measures for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In particular, the proposed entropy measure for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets can yield a similarity measure. Several illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed formulas. We apply the similarity measure to solve problems on pattern recognitions, multi-criteria fuzzy decision making and medical diagnosis.

A new method for solving dual hesitant fuzzy assignment problems with restrictions based on similarity measure

Zhu et al. (2012) proposed dual hesitant fuzzy set as an extension of hesitant fuzzy sets which encompass fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multisets as a special case. Dual hesitant fuzzy sets consist of two parts, that is, the membership and nonmembership degrees, which are represented by two sets of possible values. Therefore, in accordance with the practical demand these sets are more flexible, and provides much more information about the situation. In this paper, the axiom definition of a similarity measure between dual hesitant fuzzy sets is introduced. A new similarity measure considering membership and nonmembership degrees of dual hesitant fuzzy sets has been presented and also it is shown that the corresponding distance measures can be obtained from the proposed similarity measures. To check the effectiveness, the proposed similarity measure is applied in a bidirectional approximate reasoning systems. Mathematical formulation of dual hesitant fuzzy assignment problem with restrictions is presented. Two algorithms based on the proposed similarity measure, are developed to finds the optimal solution of dual hesitant fuzzy assignment problem with restrictions. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated by numerical examples.     

A new similarity measure between intuitionistic fuzzy sets and the positive definiteness of the similarity matrix

As a generation of fuzzy set theory, intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set theory has received considerable attention for its capability on dealing with uncertainty. Similarity measures of IF sets are used to indicate the degree of commonality between IF sets. Although several similarity measures for IF sets have been proposed in previous studies, some of those cannot satisfy the axiomatic definitions of similarity, or provide counter-intuitive cases. In this paper, a new similarity measure between IF sets is proposed. The definition of similarity matrix is also presented to depict the relations among more than two IF sets. It is proved that the proposed similarity measures satisfy the properties of the axiomatic definition for similarity measures. Comparison between the previous similarity measures and the proposed similarity measure indicates that the proposed similarity measure does not provide any counter-intuitive cases. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed similarity measure can be applied to define a positive definite similarity matrix.     

基于模糊加权相似度量的粗糙集数据补齐方法

目前基于粗糙集的数据补齐方法,大多都是通过计算决策信息系统中具有缺失值的对象与无缺失值的对象之间的相似性,选取相似性最大的对象的属性值来补齐缺失的数据。这类算法的问题在于：计算对象之间的相似性时所有条件属性对于决策属性的重要性是相同的,忽略了条件属性间的差异性。鉴于此,引入了模糊加权相似的概念,根据每个条件属性的重要性以及决策属性对条件属性的依赖度,计算对象间的相似性,提出基于模糊加权相似性度量的粗糙集数据补齐方法,并通过实例计算以及与现有算法的比较分析,说明了方法的有效性。
