Generalized Normalized Euclidean Distance Based Fuzzy Soft Set Similarity for Data Classification

Classification is one of the data mining processes used to predict predetermined target classes with data learning accurately. This study discusses data classification using a fuzzy soft set method to predict target classes accurately. This study aims to form a data classification algorithm using the fuzzy soft set method. In this study, the fuzzy soft set was calculated based on the normalized Hamming distance. Each parameter in this method is mapped to a power set from a subset of the fuzzy set using a fuzzy approximation function. In the classification step, a generalized normalized Euclidean distance is used to determine the similarity between two sets of fuzzy soft sets. The experiments used the University of California (UCI) Machine Learning dataset to assess the accuracy of the proposed data classification method. The dataset samples were divided into training (75% of samples) and test (25% of samples) sets. Experiments were performed in MATLAB R2010a software. The experiments showed that: (1) The fastest sequence is matching function, distance measure, similarity, normalized Euclidean distance, (2) the proposed approach can improve accuracy and recall by up to 10.3436% and 6.9723%, respectively, compared with baseline techniques. Hence, the fuzzy soft set method is appropriate for classifying data.

     

Distance and similarity measures of Pythagorean fuzzy sets based on the Hausdorff metric with application to fuzzy TOPSIS

Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) were proposed by Yager in 2013 to treat imprecise and vague information in daily life more rigorously and efficiently with higher precision than intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this paper, we construct new distance and similarity measures of PFSs based on the Hausdorff metric. We first develop a method to calculate a distance between PFSs based on the Hasudorff metric, along with proving several properties and theorems. We then consider a generalization of other distance measures, such as the Hamming distance, the Euclidean distance, and their normalized versions. On the basis of the proposed distances for PFSs, we give new similarity measures to compute the similarity degree of PFSs. Some examples related to pattern recognition and linguistic variables are used to validate the proposed distance and similarity measures. Finally, we apply the proposed methods to multicriteria decision-making by constructing a Pythagorean fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution and then present a practical example to address an important issue related to social sector. Numerical results indicate that the proposed methods are reasonable and applicable and also that they are well suited in pattern recognition, linguistic variables, and multicriteria decision-making with PFSs.     

Supplier selection using a clustering method based on a new distance for interval type-2 fuzzy sets: A case study

Supplier selection is a decision-making process to identify and evaluate suppliers for making contracts. Here, we use interval type-2 fuzzy values to show the decision makers’ preferences and also introduce a new formula to compute the distance between two interval type-2 fuzzy sets. The performance of the proposed distance formula in comparison with the normalized Hamming, normalized Hamming based on the Hausdorff metric, normalized Euclidean and the signed distances is evaluated. The results show that the signed distance has the same trend as our method, but the other three methods are not appropriate for interval type-2 fuzzy sets. Using this approach, we propose a hierarchical clustering-based method to solve a supplier selection problem and find the proximity of the suppliers. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed method, first a case study of supplier selection problem with 8 criteria and 8 suppliers are illustrated and next, an example taken from the literature is worked through. Then, to test the hierarchical clustering-based method and compare with the obtained results by two other methods, a comparative study using experimental analysis is designed. The results show that while the proposed hierarchical clustering algorithm provides acceptable results, it is also conveniently appropriate for using interval type-2 fuzzy sets and obtaining proximity of suppliers.     

Hesitant fuzzy information measures and their applications in multi-criteria decision making

Hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) is a powerful decision tool to express uncertain information more flexibly and comprehensively. The aim of this paper is to propose more reasonable information measures for HFSs in comparison with the existing ones. First, a series of distance measures is suggested for hesitant fuzzy element and hesitant fuzzy sets. These measures are directly calculated from hesitant fuzzy elements without judging the decision-makers’ risk preference and adding any values into the hesitant fuzzy element with the smaller number of elements. Then, some similarity and entropy measures are proposed based on the transforming relationship among the information measures. Additionally, based on the proposed information measures, a TOPSIS method for hesitant fuzzy information is provided. Finally, some numerical examples are used in order to illustrate the proposed decision method and a comparative analysis is made to demonstrate that the suggested measures are more objective and feasible in certain cases.     

A new distance measure for interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and its application to group decision making problems with incomplete weights information

The aim of this study is to introduce a novel generalized distance measure for interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and to illustrate the applicability of the proposed distance measure to group decision making problems. Firstly, a generalized distance measure is proposed along with proofs satisfying its axioms. Then, a comparison between the proposed distance measure and well-known distance measures is performed in terms of counter-intuitive cases. Subsequently, the extension of TOPSIS method, in which the proposed distance measure is used to calculate separation measures, to an interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) environment is demonstrated to solve multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problems using optimal criteria weights determined with linear programming model based on the concept of maximizing relative closeness coefficient. Finally, two illustrative examples are provided for proof-of-concept purposes and to demonstrate benefits of using the proposed distance measure over the existing ones in IVIF TOPSIS method for MCGDM problems.

Multicriteria group decision-making method using the distances-based similarity measures between intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

The Hamming and Euclidean distances between intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and the distances-based similarity measures are proposed in this study, then an intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy multicriteria group decision-making method is established using the similarity measures and expected weight values, in which linguistic values of intuitionistic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers for linguistic terms are used to assess alternatives with respect to qualitative criteria and criteria weights. We establish simple and exact formulae to solve the multicriteria group decision-making problem based on the similarity measures between the ideal alternative and each alternative, the ranking order of all the alternatives and the best one can be determined by the proposed similarity measures. Finally, an illustrative example demonstrates the implementation process of the technique.
