Generalisations of SDM Methods in fpfs-Matrices Space to Render Them Operable in ifpifs-Matrices Space and Their Application to Performance Ranking of the Noise-Removal Filters

Abstract

Recently, the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy parameterized intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrices (ifpifs-matrices) has allowed to mathematically model some problems in which the parameters and alternatives exhibit intuitionistic fuzzy uncertainties. To this end, the present study aims to generalise 24 soft decision-making (SDM) methods operating in the fuzzy parameterized fuzzy soft matrices space with a single fpfs-matrix to the ifpifs-matrices spaces. Afterwards, we propose five test scenarios to analyse whether the SDM methods constructed by ifpifs-matrices consistently work. Moreover, we make performance comparisons of the generalised SDM methods successful in the five test scenarios by applying them to the performance-based value assignment (PVA) problem of the well-known noise-removal filters. Finally, we discuss the need for further research.
