The normal distribution is a usual one of various distributions in the real world. A normal neutrosophic set (NNS) is composed of both a normal fuzzy number and a neutrosophic number, which a significant tool for describing the incompleteness, indeterminacy, and inconsistency of the decision-making information. In this paper, we propose two correlation coefficients between NNSs based on the score functions of normal neutrosophic numbers (NNNs) (basic elements in NNSs) and investigate their properties. Then, we develop a multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) method with NNSs under normal neutrosophic environments, where, by correlation coefficient values between each alternative (each evaluated NNS) and the ideal alternative (the ideal NNS), the ranking order of alternatives and the best one are given in the normal neutrosophic decision-making process. Finally, an illustrative example about the selection problem of investment alternatives is provided to demonstrate the application and feasibility of the developed decision-making method. Compared to the existing MADM approaches based on aggregation operators of NNNs, the proposed MADM method based on the correlation coefficients of NNSs shows the advantage of its simple decision-making process.

Correlation Coefficients of Consistency Neutrosophic Sets Regarding Neutrosophic Multi-valued Sets and Their Multi-attribute Decision-Making Method

Jun Ye, Jiamin Song, Shigui Du

Summary: This study introduces the concept of neutrosophic multi-valued sets and proposes a method to transform them into consistency single-valued neutrosophic sets, allowing for better expression and operation of different lengths/cardinalities of neutrosophic multi-valued elements. Two correlation coefficients and a decision-making approach are established based on this transformation, and the effectiveness and rationality of the method are demonstrated through an illustrative example and comparison with existing methods.

Similarity Measures between Intuitionistic Fuzzy Credibility Sets and Their Multicriteria Decision-Making Method for the Performance Evaluation of Industrial Robots

Jun Ye, Shigui Du, Rui Yong

Summary: This study introduces the concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy credibility set (IFCS) to represent hybrid information of membership degree and credibility degree, as well as nonmembership degree and credibility degree. Generalized distance and similarity measures between IFCSs are proposed, and a multi-criteria decision-making method is developed using these similarity measures in an IFCS environment. The efficiency and applicability of the developed method are demonstrated through a case study evaluating industrial robot performance and comparative analysis.

Q-INDETERMINATE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT BETWEEN SIMPLIFIED NEUTROSOPHIC INDETERMINATE SETS AND ITS MULTICRITERIA DECISION-MAKING METHOD

Shigui Du, Jun Ye, Rui Yong, Fangwei Zhang

Summary: This study proposes a simplified neutrosophic indeterminate set (SNIS) to describe the uncertainty degrees of truth, falsity, and indeterminacy, and introduces q-indeterminate correlation coefficients of SNISs for multicriteria decision-making. Decision makers' risk attitudes, such as small risk for q = 0, moderate risk for q = 0.5, and large risk for q = 1, are taken into consideration, demonstrating practicality and flexibility in the SNIS setting.

Similarity measures based on the generalized distance of neutrosophic Z-number sets and their multi-attribute decision making method

Jun Ye

Summary: Zadeh introduced Z-numbers with fuzzy value and reliability measure, but lacked indeterminacy and falsity fuzzy values and reliability measures. Neutrosophic Z-number (NZN) was proposed to express inconsistent, incomplete and indeterminate knowledge and judgments. Generalized distance and similarity measures were introduced for NZN sets, enhancing the reliability and superiority in decision making.
