Software Quality Evaluation

Abstract Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), including member and nonmember functions, have many applications in managing uncertain information. The similarity measures of IFSs proposed to represent the similarity between different types of sensitive fuzzy information. However, some existing similarity measures do not meet the axioms of similarity. Moreover, in some cases, they could not be applied appropriately. In this study, we proposed some novel similarity measures of IFSs constructed by combining the exponential function of membership functions and the negative function of non-membership functions. In this paper, we also proposed a new entropy measure as a stepping stone to calculate the weights of the criteria in the proposed multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model. The similarity measures used to rank alternatives in the model. Finally, we used this MCDM model to evaluate the quality of software projects.

As an important content in fuzzy mathematics, similarity measure is used to measure the similarity degree between two fuzzy sets. Considering the existing similarity measures, most of them do not consider the hesitancy degree and some methods considering the hesitancy degree are based on the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy values. It may cause some counterintuitive results in some cases. In order to make up for the drawback, we present a new approach to construct the similarity measure between two interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets using the entropy measure and considering the hesitancy degree. In particular, the proposed measure was demonstrated to yield a similarity measure. Besides, some examples are given to prove the practicality and effectiveness of the new measure. We also apply the similarity measure to expert system to solve the problems on pattern recognition and the multicriteria group decision making. In these examples, we also compare it with existing methods such as other similarity measures and the ideal point method.

Classic Theory

The following paper presents deductive theories of n-Pythagorean fuzzy sets (n-PFS). N-PFS objects are a generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and the Yager Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs). Until now, the values of membership and non-membership functions have been described on a one-to-one scale and a quadratic function scale. There is a symmetry between the values of this membership and non-membership functions. The scales of any power functions are used here in order to increase the scope of the decision-making problems. The theory of n-PFS introduces a conceptual apparatus analogous to the classic theory of Zadeh fuzzy sets, consistently striving to correctly define the n-PFS algebra.
