scholarly journals Application of TOPSIS in the Diagnosis of Vector Borne Diseases

“Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set” (IFS) is used to manage nebulousness and indecision. In current investigation, another intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is proposed for decision making by utilizing entropy weight. Current model permits estimating the degree of membership and non-membership of various alternatives assessed over a criterion set. A case study has been carried out to diagnosis of vector borne disease. Criteria’s have been selected according to relevant disease and weight has been assigned to them by medical expert’s committee. It has been established that TOPSIS method can diagnose the VBD diseases using specific symptoms as criteria and VBDs as alternatives. The suggested methodology can help in correct and timely diagnosis of VBDs and provides doctors an innovative diagnostic tool (WHO, 2004; WHO, 2014). The result is validated by applying fuzzy VIKOR method.

In this article, the effectiveness of the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS model (IF-TOPSISEF) is tested for addressing, capturing, and resolving the effect of correlation between attributes, otherwise called the dependency of attributes. This was achieved by using several normalization methods in the implementation of the IF-TOPSISEF model. Furthermore, the result of the computation is compared with the one obtained when the normalization methods are implemented using a traditional TOPSIS model. The study contributes and extends the state of the art in TOPSIS method study, by addressing, capturing and resolving the effect of correlation between attributes otherwise called dependency of attributes.

In this study, we examined the project selection process in a mould manufacturing company. We ranked 12 criteria via Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and evaluated the most important 8 criteria. Then we applied Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS (IF-TOPSIS) method, which is the extended version of the TOPSIS method in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. After expressing the decision makers' evaluations in linguistic terms, we turned them into intuitive fuzzy numbers. In the last step, we obtained the project rankings by calculating the closeness coefficient for 5 projects.

Software Quality has many parameters that govern its value. Of them, usually, Reliability has gained much attention of researchers and practitioners. However, today’s ever-demanding environment poses severe challenges in front of software creators as to continue treating Reliability as one of the most important attributes for governing software quality when other important parameters like re-usability, security and resilience to name a few are also available. Evaluating, ranking and selecting the most approximate attribute to govern the software quality is a complex concern, which technically requires a multi-criteria decision-making environment. Through this paper, we have proposed an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set-based TOPSIS approach to showcase why reliability is one of the most preferable parameters for governing software quality. In order to collate individual opinions of decision makers; software developers of various firms were administered for rating the importance of various criteria and alternatives.

In recent years, with the development of the rural e-commerce, the importance of rural logistics has been widely recognized. The selection of rural logistics center is a crucial part in products circulation, because an unreasonable location of rural logistics can cause a circulation problem and product waste. In this paper, we propose a rural logistics center location model based on the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS. First, we integrate the information according to experts’ score based on the evaluation index system. Second, we use the entropy weight method to determine the weight of each evaluation index. Third, we rank the results by using the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method. Finally, an illustrative example will be used to prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.
