Abstract
This paper introduces Single Valued Refined Neutrosophic Set (SVRNS) which is a generalized version of the neutrosophic set. It consists of six membership functions based on imaginary and indeterminate aspect and hence, is more sensitive to real-world problems. Membership functions defined as complex (imaginary), a falsity tending towards complex and truth tending towards complex are used to handle the imaginary concept in addition to existing memberships in the Single Valued Neutrosophic Set (SVNS). Several properties of this set were also discussed. The study of imaginative pretend play of children in the age group from 1 to 10 years was taken for analysis using SVRNS, since it is a field which has an ample number of imaginary aspects involved. SVRNS will be more apt in representing these data when compared to other neutrosophic sets. Machine learning algorithms such as K-means, parallel axes coordinate, etc., were applied and visualized for a real-world application concerned with child psychology. The proposed algorithms help in analysing the mental abilities of a child on the basis of imaginative play. These algorithms aid in establishing a correlation between several determinants of imaginative play and a child’s mental abilities, and thus help in drawing logical conclusions based on it. A brief comparison of the several algorithms used is also provided.
Highlights
Neutrosophy is an emerging branch in modern mathematics
We propose a new notion of Single Valued Refined Neutrosophic Sets (SVRNS) which is a model structured on indeterminate and imaginary notions, coupled with machine learning techniques such as heat maps, clustering, parallel axes coordinate, etc., to study the factors that determine and influence imaginative play in children and how it differs in children with different abilities and skills
Positive correlation happens when an increase in one attribute shows an increase in another attribute as well
Summary
Neutrosophy is an emerging branch in modern mathematics It is based on philosophy and was introduced by Smarandache and deals with the concept of indeterminacy [1]. A proposition in Neutrosophic logic is either true (T), false (F) or indeterminate (I). This inclusion of indeterminacy makes the neutrosophic logic capable of analyzing uncertainty in datasets. Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets (SVNS) [3] are an instance of a neutrosophic set which can be used in real scientific and engineering applications such as Decision-making problems [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], Image Processing [12,13,14], Social Network Analysis [15], Social problems [16,17] and psychology [18]. The distance and similarity measures have found practical applications in the fields of psychology for comparing different behavioural and cognitive patterns
