Distance‐based intuitionistic multiplicative multiple criteria decision‐making methods for healthcare management in West China Hospital

Abstract

Intuitionistic multiplicative sets use an asymmetric, unbalanced scale to express information from positive, negative, and indeterminate information. They have been found capable of comprehensively and objectively representing a person's intuitive understanding and hence have attracted much attention. Distance techniques are widely used to measure the degree to which arguments deviate from one another. Several fuzzy set extensions have been developed, but little research has been conducted on measures of distance between intuitionistic multiplicative sets. In this paper, we start by presenting a variety of measures of the distance between intuitionistic multiplicative sets, including Hausdorff distance measures, weighted distance measures, ordered weighted distance measures, and continuous weighted distance measures. We then develop a distance‐based intuitionistic multiplicative‐technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution method and a distance‐based intuitionistic multiplicative‐Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje method for handling multiple criteria decision‐making problems with intuitionistic multiplicative evaluation information. To demonstrate the practical application of these distance measures and the proposed methods, we provide a case study of hospital management of inpatient admission. The paper ends with comparative analyses of the two methods and some concluding remarks.

Schweizer‐Sklar operations based hybrid aggregation operator to dual hesitant q‐rung orthopair fuzzy set and its application on MCGDM

“…Recently, Gayen et al, (2022) proposed Hamacher aggregation operators for aggregating ‐rung orthopair trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Also, some research works (Mahamood et al, 2019; Liao et al, 2020; Liu et al., 2022; Riaz et al, 2022; Paul et al, 2022, Mahamood et al, 2023) on IF, PF and ‐ROF contexts are reviewed.…”

Extended TODIM‐PROMETHEE II method with hesitant probabilistic information for solving potential risk evaluation problems of water resource carrying capacity

“…Aiming at a condition that the decision information is often not represented accurately in some complex situations, fuzzy set theory was proposed by Zadeh 1975. Due to its advantages for the fuzzy information representation, fuzzy sets (FSs) were extended, involving interval‐valued FSs (Turksen, 1986), intuitionistic FSs (IFSs) (Atanassov, 1986) and interval‐valued IFSs (Atanassov & Gargov, 1989), which realized many research achievements (Wang et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2015; Rani & Garg, 2018; Yu et al, 2018a; Ding et al, 2020; Liao et al, 2020). Considering that the above theories cannot deal with some dependent and independent components, Smarandache proposed neutrosophic sets (NSs) in the late 1990s, which were developed in the 21st century.…”

A Novel Decision Making Approach for Benchmarking the Service Quality of Smart Community Health Centers

“…Community health centers are an important part of the healthcare delivery system. China has a three-tiered health care delivery system, with community health centers at the bottom, secondary hospitals in the middle, and tertiary hospitals at the top [1], [2]. In recent years, China began to develop smart community health centers (SCHCs).…”
