Abstract
Motivated by the structural aspect of the probabilistic entropy, the concept of fuzzy entropy enabled the researchers to investigate the uncertainty due to vague information. Fuzzy entropy measures the ambiguity/vagueness entailed in a fuzzy set. Hesitant fuzzy entropy and hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set based entropy presents a more comprehensive evaluation of vague information. In the vague situations of multiple-criteria decision-making, entropy measure is utilized to compute the objective weights of attributes. The weights obtained due to entropy measures are not reasonable in all the situations. To model such situation, a knowledge measure is very significant, which is a structural dual to entropy. A fuzzy knowledge measure determines the level of precision in a fuzzy set. This article introduces the concept of a knowledge measure for hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTS) and show how it may be derived from HFLTS distance measures. Authors also investigate its application in determining the weights of criteria in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM).
