An intuitive fuzzy multi-attribute decision making method based on a herding psychology improved score function for trading decisions

The amount of used new energy vehicle transactions is increasing quickly as the social economy matures, yet prices are typically low, making it increasingly difficult to select a fair trading system. Enhancing the score function is crucial in order to account for how different people’s attitudes affect the outcome of decisions and to choose an acceptable trading strategy that is applicable to other scenarios and has a favorable impact on transaction flow. The choice of a trading scheme for new energy-using vehicles is usually regarded as a multi-attribute decision problem. In this paper, the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Averaging (IFHA) operator integration operator with an improved score function is proposed based on the influence of herd mentality on decision-makers. In order to examine the correlation between the score function and the decision outcome using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, an application to a real situation and some comparative analyses are provided. The outcomes demonstrate that the decision-making process for used car trading schemes can make use of the proposed improved score function.

A hybrid spherical fuzzy logarithmic decomposition of criteria importance and alternative ranking technique based on Adaptive Standardized Intervals model with application

This study presents a hybrid fuzzy Multi-Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) model with application to commercial insurance selection. The proposed hybrid model uses Spherical Fuzzy (SF) sets using Yager t-norm and t-conorm operations. The Logarithmic Decomposition of Criteria Importance (LODECI) method is used for criterion weighting due to its efficacy in stabilizing scenarios that may challenge other weighting techniques. For alternative ranking, the study employs the Alternative Ranking Technique based on Adaptive Standardized Intervals (ARTASI), offering enhanced flexibility in handling uncertainties inherent in expert evaluations. The combination of these methods and the utilization of SF sets gives rise to the proposed SF-LODECI-ARTASI hybrid model. The paper systematically delineates the procedural steps involving SF sets, Yager t-norm and t-conorm operations, SF-LODECI, and SF-ARTASI methods. Subsequently, the developed hybrid model is applied to a case study of commercial insurance selection, supported by a numerical example. The research application results emphasize the consistency of these findings with other alternative methods. Additionally, sensitivity scenarios are constructed to scrutinize the robustness of the proposed hybrid model. The study concludes by elucidating implications and contributions to the existing literature.

In this paper, some calculating laws on IVIFSs, Hamacher sum, Hamacher product are introduced, and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher interactive power averaging (IVIFHIPA) technique is proposed based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) Hamacher interactive weighted averaging (IVIFHIWA) technique and power average (PA) technique. Meanwhile, some ideal properties of IVIFHIPA technique are studied. Then, the IVIFHIPA technique is employed to cope with the MADM under IVIFSs. Finally, an example for operational quality evaluation of industry-finance integration enterprises under lean management accounting is employed to test the IVIFHIPA technique. Thus, the main research aim of this paper is concluded as follows: (1) the IVIFHIPA technique is constructed based on IVIFHIWA technique and classical power average (PA) technique; (2) the IVIFHIPA technique is put forward to cope with the MADM under IVIFSs; (3) an empirical example for operational quality evaluation of industry-finance integration enterprises under lean management accounting has been put forward to show the IVIFHIPA technique.

Assessment of polluted region using an integrated weighting approach and fuzzy VIKOR method

Air pollution exerts a profound impact on both public health and the natural environment. In India, festivals like Diwali also contaminate the air by releasing pollutants into the atmosphere. It is essential to identify the most polluted region by estimating these pollutants. Since air quality assessment involves multiple air pollutants, there may be inherent uncertainty associated with data. This study employs a fuzzy Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) framework fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process-Entropy-fuzzy VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (FAHP-Entropy-FVIKOR) to model the impact of air pollution as a decision-making problem to address the uncertainty and assess the air quality during the Diwali festival from 2019 to 2021 in Tamil Nadu, India. An integrated weighting approach is utilised to determine the weights of the air pollutants using a fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process and Entropy methods. Mainly, the fuzzy VIKOR approach is employed to rank the polluted regions. The validation of the proposed model is established through a comparative analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation with two other existing fuzzy MADM methods. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the influence of priority weights and the interdependence of pollutants in determining regional rankings. The results conclude that a strong positive correlation is attained between the proposed and existing methods and the highest levels of air pollution during the festival period are observed in Gandhi Nagar (2019), Rayapuram (2020), T. Nagar, Sowcarpet and Triplicane (2021) in their respective years. These findings substantiate the consistency and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Optimizing building material supplier selection through integrated interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute decision making

In engineering construction, the unavoidable issue is how to choose suitable suppliers. The quality of suppliers has a direct impact on the progress, quality, and cost of the project. The selection of suppliers for construction projects in water conservancy and hydropower engineering is directly related to the cost of construction enterprises, and large-scale construction projects have stricter requirements for cost control. The investment in engineering construction is very huge, so cost control ability is a very important assessment indicator for construction project construction, and the cost of materials is a significant part of the construction project cost. Therefore, the research on the selection and optimization of building material suppliers is a topic that cannot be ignored. The building material supplier selection is a multi-attribute decision making (MADM). In this paper, some calculating laws on IVIFSs, Hamacher sum, Hamacher product are introduced, and the induced interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Hamacher interactive ordered weighted averaging (IVIFHIOWA) operators (I-IVIFHIOWA) operator is proposed. Meanwhile, some ideal properties of I-IVIFHIOWA operator are studied. Then, the I-IVIFHIOWA operator is employed to cope with the MADM under IVIFSs. Finally, an example for building material supplier selection is employed to test the I-IVIFHIOWA operator.

Research on decision method based on probability hesitation fuzzy comprehensive distance measure

Aiming at the defects of the existing probabilistic hesitation fuzzy distance measures, which require the number of membership degree to be consistent and the order to be rearranged, a probabilistic hesitation fuzzy multi-attribute decision making method based on the comprehensive characteristic distance measure is proposed. First, a new law of probability hesitant fuzzy number comparison is defined. Then four characteristics of aggregation, discreteness, fuzziness and consistency are defined, and a new comprehensive distance measure is defined based on definitions above. Finally, on the basis of traditional TODIM method and prospect theory, the validity and rationality of the distance measure and new probability hesitant fuzzy recognition method in this paper are verified by examples and comparative analysis.

A q-rung orthopair fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making model based on attribute reduction and evidential reasoning methodology

Multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) is an analytical decision-making framework which gathers the views of multiple experts, and they often assess alternatives by degree adverbs in realistic scenarios. In order to treat expert opinions well, q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROF) emerged as a data disposal tool, however, how to aggregate the information rationally remains a challenge. In this paper, q-ROF evidential reasoning methodology (q-ROF ERM) is proposed to guarantee the functionality in the case of conflicting, extreme information evaluations from experts and attributes. Second, the q-ROF attribute reduction (AR) framework is invented for attribute importance measurement. The flexibility and elegance of the model are boosted by the variation of the λ parameter and its lead to the elimination of redundant attributes. In addition to this, the q-ROF output three-way decision (TWD) framework is created to give the classification and ranking of alternatives. The relative output function derived from fuzzy distance measure and the adjustable utility pursuit coefficient τ afford both objectivity and subjectivity to the program selection, allowing the evaluation outcomes to be relevant to human cognition. Finally, the comparative experiments and sensitivity analyses of the two cases illustrate the scientificity and reliability of the presented framework in the MAGDM scenario.

Basic uncertainty information hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making method with credibility

This study addresses the inadequacy of the current quantitative calculation method for decision-maker credibility in hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making, where credibility is considered. To overcome this limitation, a novel quantitative calculation method for decision-maker credibility is proposed based on the principles of basic uncertainty information theory under a hesitant fuzzy environment. Furthermore, a credible-based hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision model is developed. Initially, the paper introduces the concept of a basic uncertainty hesitant fuzzy set by combining basic uncertainty information theory with hesitant fuzzy set theory, thereby enhancing the understanding of basic uncertainty information theory within the realm of non-interval fuzzy information. Building on this foundation, the method for determining the hesitant degree of each element in the basic uncertainty hesitant fuzzy set is provided, followed by the proposed quantitative calculation method for decision-maker’s credibility under the hesitant fuzzy environment, which addresses the lack of a quantitative approach for assessing expert credibility under such circumstances. Subsequently, an attribute weight assignment method is introduced, considering the decision-maker’s credibility, leading to the formulation of a basic uncertainty hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision model based on credibility. This model enhances existing hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making methods that take credibility into account. To validate the proposed approach, the study applies it to the selection of new energy vehicle battery suppliers. The results of the analysis using actual data and sensitivity analysis demonstrate that decision-maker credibility can be quantitatively determined using the proposed method. Additionally, the basic uncertainty hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making model based on credibility effectively aids in supplier selection. The feasibility and stability of this method are verified through the examination of risk appetite coefficient and hesitancy coefficient.

A novel cross-entropy framework for pattern design quality evaluation based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute decision making

Paper packaging is favored by manufacturers in various industries due to its advantages such as economy and environmental friendliness, and the application of paper packaging in various types of products is also becoming increasingly popular. However, with the growth of the national economy and the increasing purchasing power of the people, consumers not only have higher requirements for the functionality of products, but also have higher requirements for the visual effect of product packaging. Based on the potential consumption trend of “looking for things”, enterprises need to further strengthen the artistic design effect when using paper packaging, promoting the unity of practicality and aesthetics of paper packaging. Pattern design art, as a component of graphic design art, is mainly based on pattern modeling to convey artistic concepts and aesthetic temperament. Integrating pattern design art into the process of paper packaging design can effectively enhance the artistic value of paper packaging, thereby adding color to products. The pattern design quality evaluation is a classical multi-attribute decision making (MADM). In this paper, the MADM methodology is investigated based on cross-entropy (CE) method under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) for pattern design quality evaluation. First of all, this paper extends the CE method under the IVIFSs to propose the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number cross-entropy (IVIFN-CE) method, it enlarges the application range of the CE method. Secondly, a new MADM model for pattern design quality evaluation based on IVIFN-CE algorithm is proposed. In this algorithm, attribute weight is calculated by CRITIC method which is a well-known objective method. At the end of this study, we noticed to a comparison between the proposed IVIFN-CE approach with other existing methods to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Penentuan Peringkat Penilaian Kinerja Pegawai Sebagai Pendukung Keputusan Menggunakan Metode Fuzzy Elimination Et Choix Traduisant La Realite

This study discusses the Fuzzy Elimination Et Choix Traduisant La Realite (ELECTRE) method that can be applied to make a decision support. This method was chosen because it is one of the methods used to rank and determine the best alternative. This study aims to determine the results of the application of the fuzzy ELECTRE method which produces alternative solutions in determining employee performance appraisal ratings for the Education and Culture Office of Malang City. Some of the problems that often occur in employee performance evaluation at the Department of Education and Culture in the city of Malang are still ineffective and inaccurate because the calculation process is still manual. Based on this, the effort to reduce the problems above is to implement a Fuzzy Multi Attribute Decision Making decision support system with the fuzzy ELECTRE method. This method requires a process of normalizing the decision matrix (X) into a comparable scale, then weighting the normalized matrix, then determining the concordance and discordance indices for each alternative pair to calculate the concordance and discordance indices, the ranking process is used to choose the best alternative. This study is limited by several criteria used as linguistic variables with the Triangular Fuzzy Number scale, including SKP scores, service orientation, integrity, commitment, discipline, and cooperation. Based on employee performance appraisal data that has been calculated using the fuzzy ELECTRE method, the best alternative that occupies the top rank with the highest value is alternative 2 with a value of 55.9155. It is hoped that by using the fuzzy ELECTRE method, the ranking process can be more precise in identifying employees who will become outstanding employees.

The Probabilistic Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Method Based on Cumulative Prospect Theory and Its Application

Addressing the complex issue of multi-attribute decision-making within a probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy context, where attribute weights are unknown, a novel decision-making method based on cumulative prospect theory is proposed, named the probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making method based on cumulative prospect theory. Firstly, a decision matrix is formulated, representing probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy information. Secondly, according to the decision maker’s authentic preference and non-membership information sensitivity, a comprehensive score function suitable for probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy elements is proposed. The attribute weights are then determined using the entropy method. Next, the value function and decision weight function from the cumulative prospect theory are employed to compute the cumulative prospect value attributed to each available scheme. In addition, a cumulative prospect matrix is constructed, enabling the establishment of scheme rankings based on the comprehensive cumulative prospect value. Finally, the analysis of specific cases and a comparative assessment of methods pertaining to the selection of emergency response schemes collectively demonstrate the rationality and efficacy of the decision-making method presented in this study.

VIKOR method for Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making based on regret theory

In reality, influenced by fuzzy information and irrational behavior, decision-makers are typically difficult to make decisions. Therefore, how to comprehensively express the evaluation information and accurately quantify the psychological behavior becomes a primary key to improve the efficiency of decision-making. Aiming at multi-attribute decision-making problem with completely unknown weight information and Pythagorean hesitate fuzzy evaluation value, a VIKOR method based on regret theory is proposed.

Finally, the availability and effectiveness of this method are proved by sensitivity and comparative analysis. In conclusion, the proposed method not only considers the compromise preference under Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment, but also takes into account regret psychologic behavior of decision-makers.

An approach to linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy multi-attribute decision making with LINMAP based on Manhattan distance measure

In order to estimate the deficiency of a city in its ability to prevent and control risks, as well as to evaluate the corresponding measures, this paper focuses on multi-attribute decision making based on LINMAP method and Manhattan distance at linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy. Manhattan distance is a new product that combines clustering distance with linguistic q-rung orthopair fuzzy to be able to use the data more effectively for measurement. LINMAP method is a decision making method based on ideal points, which can solve the weights as well as provide ideal solutions by linear programming model. The combination of the two can create a new decision-making method, which can effectively evaluate the decision scheme of social public facilities according to the actual needs of decision-makers. The new method has the following advantages: (1) the conditions of linguistic fuzzy numbers can be applied more comprehensively, making the decision more realistic and effective; (2) the Manhattan distance is more in line with the human way of thinking and closer to life; (3) after comparative study, the results produced by this method have certain reliability.

Penerapan Metode Fuzzy Simple Additive Weigting Pada Interpretasi Hasil Penilaian Promosi Jabatan Pegawai Negeri Sipil

The Fuzzy Simple Additive Weighting (FSAW) method is a mechanism that can be used to support decision making. This method was chosen because a ranking process was carried out to determine the weight value of each attribute, which would select employees who were worthy of occupying the promoted position. This study aims to determine the results of the application of the FSAW method in the assessment of civil servant promotion at the Malang City Education and Culture Office to increase objectivity and fairness in the assessment of employee promotion. Some problems that often occur in employee evaluation are the employee evaluation process which is still conventional so that it is less effective in calculation. The solution to overcome this problem is to use a Fuzzy Multi Attribute Decision Making (FMADM) decision support system with the FSAW method. This method requires a process to normalize the decision matrix (X) against a scale that can be compared with all available alternative values. After each attribute has been determined its weight value, the ranking process is used to select the best alternative for this study. The criteria used in this decision support system are SKP score, length of service, class, and education. The membership function used is the Triangular Fuzzy Number (TFN) representation. The results of the ranking calculation or the best value show the highest value, namely 1 from alternative 1 (employee 1) who is entitled to a promotion. It is expected that by using the FSAW method, the task of selectors will be able to more quickly and precisely identify employees who are worthy of occupying positions promoted based on the desired conditions.

Water Cycle Health Assessment Using the Combined Weights and Relative Preference Relationship VIKOR Model: A Case Study in the Zheng-Bian-Luo Region, Henan Province

Both the natural and social water cycles form part of the regional water cycle, and the assessment of the health of the social water cycle provides useful recommendations for resource allocation, urban planning, and development. The Zheng-Bian-Luo region (Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang city cluster in China) is used as an example in this study. The three-level “goal criterion index” is used to develop a water cycle index system based on deeper knowledge of the notion of the social water cycle. The system has four criterion layers that measure water quantity, utility, quality, and ecology, in addition to 22 index levels regarding the total water resources and drinking water compliance rate. By using this as a foundation, the minimum information entropy principle was applied to couple AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and EFAST (Extended Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Analysis) in order to calculate the comprehensive weights of the evaluation indicators and build a VIKOR (Intuitionistic Fuzzy Multi-attribute Decision Making Method) model of the relative preference relationship of the fused weights. This model was then compared to the conventional VIKOR model and the FCE (Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method) method in order to reflect on the objectivity of the evaluation results. The primary barriers preventing the improvement of water cycle health in the Zheng-Bian-Luo region were determined in this study by using the barrier degree model. The findings demonstrate that over the past 11 years, the overall water cycle health in the Zheng-Bian-Luo region has developed toward a healthy trend and that the water cycle health level in the region has gradually improved from the initial sub-pathological state to a healthy state. The results also demonstrate compliance with domestic drinking water sources, comprehensive water consumption per capita, the water consumption of CNY 10,000 of industrial-added value, the water consumption of CNY 10,000 of GDP, and the water consumption of CNY 10,000 for water. The primary barrier to the Zheng-Bian-Luo region’s improvement in water health is the water consumption ratio. The findings of this study can serve as a scientific foundation for creating a balanced urban water cycle and achieving long-term development in the area.

Exponential information measures-driven Pythagorean fuzzy MADM method and its application to new energy battery supplier evaluation problem

Under the Pythagorean fuzzy environment, this paper presents a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) model based on exponential entropy measure and exponential similarity measure to evaluate new energy battery supplier’s performance. In this method, the notion of Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic sets (PFLSs) is first introduced by combining the linguistic fuzzy sets (LFSs) and the Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs). Then, the axiomatic definitions of Pythagorean fuzzy entropy and Pythagorean fuzzy similarity measure are developed to measure the degree of uncertainty and similarity between two Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic values (PFLVs). The PFLVs can be expressed by the linguistic membership degree (LMD) and linguistic non-membership degree (LNMD). In addition, we construct two new information measure formulas based on exponential function. Through a series of proofs, we verify that they satisfy the axiomatic conditions of entropy and similarity measure of Pythagorean fuzzy language respectively. On this basis, we research the relationship between the two information measures. Finally, we present a novel Pythagorean fuzzy linguistic MADM model. An example for evaluating performance of new energy battery supplier is given to explain the effectiveness of the newly-developed approach. The stability and validity of the newly-developed approach is performed by sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis.

Hesitant fuzzy β-covering ( T , I ) rough set models: An application to multi-attribute decision-making

Covering rough sets have been successfully applied to decision analysis because of the strong representing capability for uncertain information. As a research hotspot in decision analysis, hesitant fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making (HFMADM) has received increasing attention. However, the existing covering rough sets cannot handle hesitant fuzzy information, which limits its application. To tackle this problem, we set forth hesitant fuzzy β-covering rough set models and discuss their application to HFMADM. Specifically, we first construct four types of hesitant fuzzy β-covering ( T , I ) rough set models via hesitant fuzzy logic operators and hesitant fuzzy β-neighborhoods, which can handle hesitant fuzzy information without requiring any prior knowledge other than the data sets. Then, some intriguing properties of these models and their relationships are also discussed. In addition, we design a new method to deal with HFMADM problems by combining the merits of the proposed models and the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method. In this method, we not only consider the risk preferences of decision-makers, but also present a new hesitant fuzzy similarity measure expressed by hesitant fuzzy elements to measure the degree of closeness between two alternatives. Finally, an enterprise project investment problem is applied to illustrate the feasibility of our proposed method. Meanwhile, the stability and effectiveness of our proposed method are also verified by sensitivity and comparative analyses.

Evaluation of Agricultural Green Development Based on Gini Coefficient and Hesitation Fuzzy Multi-Attribute Decision-Making: The Case of China

In order to systematically solve the problem of formulating agricultural green development strategies based on the four dimensions of policy green, industry green, science and technology green, and awareness green, this paper uses the method of combining the Gini coefficient with hesitation fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making to carry out research. The research shows that: (1) The three most critical factors affecting the green development of agriculture are “consumers’ awareness of purchasing green agricultural products”, “investment in the construction of rural ecological civilization” and “the number of farmers’ scientific and technological training”, and the corresponding index weights are 0.12, 0.1 and 0.1, respectively. (2) There are differences in policy, industry, science and technology, and consciousness in the green development of agriculture. The green development of policy shows an obvious upward trend. The industrial green development shows a relatively gentle upward trend. The green development of science and technology showed rapid growth from 2011 to 2017, and the growth slowed down in the following two years and showed a downward trend in 2020. The awareness of green development shows a relatively stable upward trend. (3) The green development of agriculture is jointly driven by the relevant interests of the supply side, the demand side, and the regulator, and the demand side’s requirements for high-quality agricultural products become a stronger driving force for the green development of agriculture. The change in the consciousness and thinking of agricultural product producers on the supply side has become the basis for the green development of agriculture, and the implementation of government policies has become an important guarantee for the green development of agriculture. The innovation of this paper is to build an evaluation index system including government, consumers, farmers’ awareness of multiple subjects, government policies at all levels, industrial production status, and agricultural production technology. At the same time, we build an evaluation model that can comprehensively analyze quantitative and qualitative indicators. In view of the need for a holistic analysis of the agricultural system in the study of agricultural green development, future studies will include air pollution emissions and agricultural transport services in the evaluation model to improve the scientific and universal model.
