An Optimized Decision Support Model for COVID-19 Diagnostics Based on Complex Fuzzy Hypersoft Mapping

Mathematics

COVID-19 has shaken the entire world economy and affected millions of people in a brief period. COVID-19 has numerous overlapping symptoms with other upper respiratory conditions, making it hard for diagnosticians to diagnose correctly. Several mathematical models have been presented for its diagnosis and treatment. This article delivers a mathematical framework based on a novel agile fuzzy-like arrangement, namely, the complex fuzzy hypersoft (CFHS) set, which is a formation of the complex fuzzy (CF) set and the hypersoft set (an extension of soft set). First, the elementary theory of CFHS is developed, which considers the amplitude term (A-term) and the phase term (P-term) of the complex numbers simultaneously to tackle uncertainty, ambivalence, and mediocrity of data. In two components, this new fuzzy-like hybrid theory is versatile. First, it provides access to a broad spectrum of membership function values by broadening them to the unit circle on an Argand plane and incorporati...

Multiple Attribute Decision Making Based on Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers and its Application in the Diagnosis of Viral Flu

International journal of multidiciplinaries, 2022

Decision-making technique (DMT) is mostly used in artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences to elaborate individual and social perception. So, one of the most important strategies in DMT evolved in medical diagnosis scrutiny regarding the connection of symptoms and diagnosis of diseases due to uncertainty and fuzziness in the relevant information. The focus of this article is to develop a diagnostic decision making strategy for the diagnosis of Viral diseases with close related symptoms using the Interval-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic fuzzy Numbers (IVTrNFN) w.r.t multiple attribute decision making (MADM) strategy where, the attribute value is evolved to Interval-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic fuzzy number and the attribute weight is unknown and can be related to the GRA (Grey relational analysis projection) technique. In this research several operational laws are developed as well as the expected value and the hamming distance between two IVTrFNs are introduced. Moreover, the information entropy method is used to determine the attributes weights and the grey relational analysis as well as the projection method are involved too in the proposed framework. The ranks of the alternative decisions are evaluated by their relative closeness to PIS (Positive Ideal Solutions), which combine the grey relational projection values from positive and negative ideal solutions associated with each alternative. Finally, a Viral disease example is given to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Development of TOPSIS Technique under Pythagorean Fuzzy Hypersoft Environment Based on Correlation Coefficient and Its Application towards the Selection of Antivirus Mask in COVID-19 Pandemic

Complexity

The correlation coefficient between two variables plays an important role in statistics. Also, the accuracy of relevance assessment depends on information from a set of discourses. The data collected from numerous statistical studies are full of exceptions. The Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set (PFHSS) is a parameterized family that deals with the subattributes of the parameters and an appropriate extension of the Pythagorean fuzzy soft set. It is also the generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set (IFHSS), which is used to accurately assess insufficiency, anxiety, and uncertainties in decision-making. The PFHSS can accommodate more uncertainties compared to the IFHSS, and it is the most substantial methodology to describe fuzzy information in the decision-making process. The core objective of the this study is to develop the notion and features of the correlation coefficient and the weighted correlation coefficient for PFHSS and to introduce the aggregation operators su...

Nonlinear distance measures under the framework of Pythagorean fuzzy sets with applications in problems of pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, and COVID-19 medicine selection

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023

Background The concept of Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) is an utmost valuable mathematical framework, which handles the ambiguity generally arising in decision-making problems. Three parameters, namely membership degree, non-membership degree, and indeterminate (hesitancy) degree, characterize a PFS, where the sum of the square of each of the parameters equals one. PFSs have the unique ability to handle indeterminate or inconsistent information at ease, and which demonstrates its wider scope of applicability over intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Results In the present article, we opt to define two nonlinear distances, namely generalized chordal distance and non-Archimedean chordal distance for PFSs. Most of the established measures possess linearity, and we cannot incorporate them to approximate the nonlinear nature of information as it might lead to counter-intuitive results. Moreover, the concept of non-Archimedean normed space theory plays a significant role in numerous research domains. The proficiency of our proposed measures to overcome the impediments of the existing measures is demonstrated utilizing twelve different sets of fuzzy numbers, supported by a diligent comparative analysis. Numerical examples of pattern recognition and medical diagnosis have been considered where we depict the validity and applicability of our newly constructed distances. In addition, we also demonstrate a problem of suitable medicine selection for COVID-19 so that the transmission rate of the prevailing viral pandemic could be minimized and more lives could be saved. Conclusions Although the issues concerning the COVID-19 pandemic are very much challenging, yet it is the current need of the hour to save the human race. Furthermore, the justifiable structure of our proposed distances and also their feasible nature suggest that their applications are not only limited to some specific research domains, but decision-makers from other spheres as well shall hugely benefit from them and possibly come up with some further extensions of the ideas.

A robust framework for the selection of optimal COVID-19 mask based on aggregations of interval-valued multi-fuzzy hypersoft sets

Expert systems with applications, 2024

The selection of antivirus masks is an important problem in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) algorithmic approaches can be used to evaluate and compare different masks based on multiple criteria, such as effectiveness, comfort, and cost. An aggregation of intervalvalued multi-fuzzy hypersoft sets provides a flexible framework for handling uncertainty and imprecision in the MADM process. This approach allows for the integration of multiple sources of information such as expert opinions and empirical data, and considers the different levels of uncertainty and ambiguity associated with each criterion. By using the matrix-manipulated aggregation of interval-valued multi-fuzzy hypersoft sets like the induced fuzzy matrix,-level matrix, threshold matrix, and mid-threshold matrix, an algorithm is proposed for the optimal selection of material for manufacturing antivirus masks. The robustness of the algorithm is maintained by following simple computation-based stages that enable a wide range of multidisciplinary readers to understand the idea vividly. By using this algorithm, it is possible to improve the accuracy and reliability of the decision-making process and to better balance the trade-offs between the different criteria, i.e., the computed results of the proposed algorithm and the structural aspects of the proposed approach are both compared with some relevant existing structures. Computation-based and structural comparisons are presented to assess the adaptability and reliability of the study. The first one is meant to check reliability, while the second is meant to check flexibility. In both cases, however, the presented approach yields the required standard. By comparing the prospective structure to the relevant developed model, the implications of the proposed framework are explored.

Extension of Interval-Valued Fermatean Fuzzy TOPSIS for Evaluating and Benchmarking COVID-19 Vaccines

Mathematics

In order to help curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper develops a multi-attribute decision-making framework for COVID-19 vaccine evaluation based on their major clinical characteristics and efficacy. Firstly, a new multi-criteria Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) modification has been constructed in an interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy (IVFF) environment, improving the shortcomings of traditional TOPSIS. Secondly, a new conceptual framework for static and dynamic evaluation of COVID-19 vaccines has been built. The proposed methodology incorporates a variety of crisp and fuzzy MCDM methods. The analysis of the results of two practical examples shows that the new framework for vaccine comparison is feasible and effective, and finally, some recommendations for enhancement of government anti-COVID-19 strategies are suggested.

Multicriteria group decision making via generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number-based novel similarity measure and its application to diverse COVID-19 scenarios

Artificial Intelligence Review

Havoc, brutality, economic breakdown, and vulnerability are the terms that can be rightly associated with COVID-19, for the kind of impact it is having on the whole world for the last two years. COVID-19 came as a nightmare and it is still not over yet, changing its form factor with each mutation. Moreover, each unpredictable mutation causes more severeness. In the present article, we outline a decision support algorithm using Generalized Trapezoidal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (GTrIFNs) to deal with various facets of COVID-19 problems. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and their continuous counterparts, viz., the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs), have the flexibility and effectiveness to handle the uncertainty and fuzziness associated with real-world problems. Although a meticulous amount of research works can be found in the literature, a wide majority of them are based mainly on normalized IFNs rather than the more generalized approach, and most of them had several limitations. Therefore, we have made a sincere attempt to devise a novel Similarity Measure (SM) which considers the evaluation of two prominent features of GTrIFNs, which are their expected values and variances. Then, to establish the superiority of our approach we present a comparative analysis of our method with several other established similarity methods considering ten different profiles of GTrIFNs. The proposed SM is then validated for feasibility and applicability, by elaborating a Fuzzy Multicriteria Group Decision Making (FMCGDM) algorithm and it is supportedby a suitable illustrative example. Finally, the proposed SM approach is applied to tackle some significant concerns due to COVID-19. For instance, problems like the selection of best medicine for COVID-19 infected patients; proper healthcare waste disposal technique; and topmost government intervention measures to prevent the COVID-19 spread, are some of the burning issues which are handled with our newly proposed SM approach.

Medical Decision Making the Arithmetic of Generalized Triangular Fuzzy Numbers

The Open Cybernetics & Systemics Journal, 2018

Background: When patient(s) approach to a medical expert to explain their problems, they often explain their conditions through vague linguistic expression [1]. Medical expert needs to prepare a list of potential symptoms for the particular diseases of the patients based on their vague linguistic statements. Together with the vagueness in medical documents and imprecise information gathered for decision making makes the medical experts' job more complex. Due to the occurrence of uncertainty in medical decision making exploitation of the Fuzzy Set (FST) is required. Generally in literature, type-I fuzzy set, Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs), Interval Valued Fuzzy Sets (IVFSs), and Picture Fuzzy Sets (PFSs) are extensively applied in medical decision making. Objective: Although different approaches have been used in medical decision making, no single evidence has been observed in use of Generalized Fuzzy Numbers (GFNs) in medical decision making. GFN has the ability to deal with vague/imprecise information in a supple way. Basically, the parameter height of GFN characterizes the grade of buoyancy of judgments of decision takers in a very specific comportment. Therefore, a maiden effort has been made to study medical diagnosis using arithmetic of GFNs, and finally to exhibit the techniques a case study has been carried out under this setting. Method: To achieve the proposed goal an algorithm is being formulated and to obtain patients-diseases relationship the arithmetic of GFNs is used as the composition of fuzzy relations. Results: In this study, two scenarios are taken into considerations. In scenario-I, TFNs are used while in scenario-II, GFNs are taken to characterize uncertainty and medical decision making has been carried out. The advantages of GFNs over the TFNs are observed through the comparison of both the approaches in medical decision making. Major advantage GFNs here is that it makes it possible to compare various diseases against each other's in a more acceptable manner and accordingly diseases of the patients can be detected directly. Conclusion: The advantage of the GFN approach has been observed from the case study where it is found that existing TFN approach provides illogical results while proposed one gives a rational result. Also, it has been established that proposed approach is efficient, simple, logical, technically sound and general enough for implementation.
