Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new multiple attribute decision making (MADM) approach based on the multi-attribute ideal-real comparative assessment (MAIRCA) method, the standard deviation-based method, and Pythagorean fuzzy sets. We also propose a weight-determining method to determine the weights of attributes using a standard deviation-based approach with Pythagorean fuzzy information. The drawbacks of the existing MADM methods in Pythagorean fuzzy environments are that they cannot distinguish the preference orders of alternatives in some situations. The proposed MADM approach can overcome the drawbacks of the existing MADM approaches in the Pythagorean fuzzy context. The main contributions of this paper include: (1) It proposes a weight-determining method to derive attributes’ weights based on the standard deviation-based method with Pythagorean fuzzy information, (2) It proposes a new MADM methodology based on the MAIRCA method, the standard deviation-based method, and PFSs for MADM in the Pythagorean fuzzy setting, and (3) The proposed MADM method can overcome the shortcomings of the existing MADM methods in the Pythagorean fuzzy context. It provides us a flexible and effective method for MADM in Pythagorean fuzzy environments.
