Pythagorean fuzzy set is a reliable technique for soft computing because of its ability to curb indeterminate data when compare to intuitionistic fuzzy set. Among the several measuring tools in Pythagorean fuzzy environment, correlation coefficient is very vital since it has the capacity to measure interdependency and interrelationship between any two arbitrary Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs). In Pythagorean fuzzy correlation coefficient, some techniques of calculating correlation coefficient of PFSs (CCPFSs) via statistical perspective have been proposed, however, with some limitations namely; (i) failure to incorporate all parameters of PFSs which lead to information loss, (ii) imprecise results, and (iii) less performance indexes. Sequel, this paper introduces some new statistical techniques of computing CCPFSs by using Pythagorean fuzzy variance and covariance which resolve the limitations with better performance indexes. The new techniques incorporate the three parameters of PFSs and defined within the range [-1, 1] to show the power of correlation between the PFSs and to indicate whether the PFSs under consideration are negatively or positively related. The validity of the new statistical techniques of computing CCPFSs is tested by considering some numerical examples, wherein the new techniques show superior performance indexes in contrast to the similar existing ones. To demonstrate the applicability of the new statistical techniques of computing CCPFSs, some multi-criteria decision-making problems (MCDM) involving medical diagnosis and pattern recognition problems are determined via the new techniques.

As a generalization of several fuzzy tools, picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) hold a special ability to perfectly portray inherent uncertain and vague decision preferences. The intention of this paper is to present a Pearson’s picture fuzzy correlation-based model for multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) analysis. To this end, we develop a new correlation coefficient for picture fuzzy sets, based on which a Pearson’s picture fuzzy closeness index is introduced to simultaneously calculate the relative proximity to the positive ideal point and the relative distance from the negative ideal point. On the basis of the presented concepts, a Pearson’s correlation-based model is further presented to address picture fuzzy MADM problems. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to examine the usefulness and feasibility of the proposed methodology.

In this article, the authors propose a new framework called the MAGDM-Miner, for mining correlation rules from trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy data efficiently. In the MAGDM-Miner, the raw data from a Multiple Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problem with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy data are first pre-processed using some arithmetic aggregation operators. The aggregated data in turn are processed for efficient data selection through fuzzy correlation rule mining where the unwanted or less important decision variables are pruned from the decision making system. Using this MAGDM-Miner, a decision-maker can overcome the drawbacks in the conventional methods of Decision Support Systems (DSS) especially when dealing with large data-set. The algorithm is also presented, in which the technique of Fuzzy Correlation Rule Mining (FCRM) is fused into the MAGDM problem, in order to enhance the efficiency and accuracy in decision making environment. A numerical illustration is presented to show the effectiveness and accuracy of the newly developed MAGDM-Miner algorithm.

Multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) is widely applied to various areas for solving real-life problems, including technology selection, credit assessment, strategic planning evaluation, supplier selection, etc. To describe the complex and imprecise cognition, it is more convenient to provide the decision-making information in linguistic terms rather than concrete numerical values. Thus, several linguistic models, such as the fuzzy linguistic approach (FLA), hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (HFLTSs), hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic term sets (HIFLTSs), and probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTS) have been proposed successively. Due to the flexibility and comprehensiveness of PLTS, it has aroused growing concern. However, it also has a big limitation of requiring the membership degree to be 1 by default, and it does not consider the degree of non-membership and hesitancy of a linguistic variable. Therefore, the probabilistic hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic term sets (PHIFLTSs) have been presented to extend the PLTS by combining the membership and non-membership in symmetry to depict the evaluation of the experts. To overcome the existing shortcomings and enrich the methodology framework of PHIFLTSs, some novel operational laws are defined to extend the applicability and methodology of the PHIFLTSs in MAGDM. Furthermore, the distance and correlation measures for the PHIFLTSs are improved to make up the shortage of the current distance measures. In addition, the unbalanced linguistic terms are taken into account to represent the cognitive complex information of experts. At last, a MAGDM model based on the multiplicative multi-objective optimization by ratio analysis (MULTIMOORA) approach with the use of the developed novel operational laws and correlation measures is presented, which results in more accuracy and effectiveness. A real-word application example is presented to demonstrate the working of the proposed methodology. Moreover, a thorough comparison is done with related existing works in order to show the validity of this methodology.
