Expert Estimates Averaging by Constructing Intuitionistic Fuzzy Triangles

The problem of ranking (sorting) of m alternatives is considered when experts evaluate each alternative according to k criteria. Functions of arithmetic and geometric averages are constructed for decision making. We present a generalization of this scheme when there are evaluation matrices of several experts and this information is aggregated in the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy triangles were constructed with different uncertainty levels, experts decision matrices and the number of experts varied from 2 to 5. Moreover, method for construction of experts decision probability matrices is proposed in the paper. Ranking results obtained by performing Monte Carlo simulations. Probabilities of errors are compared for arithmetic, geometric, fuzzy arithmetic and fuzzy geometric averages

Pythagorean fuzzy Muirhead mean operators in multiple attribute decision making for evaluating of emerging technology commercialization

In today’s world, with the advancement of technology, several emerging technologies are coming. Faced with massive emerging technologies which are the component of the technology pool, how to identify the commercial potential of emerging technologies in theory and practice is an important problem. The scientific approach to the selection of these emerging technologies is one of the main objectives of the research. In this paper, we extend Muirhead mean (MM) operator and dual MM (DMM) operator to process the Pythagorean fuzzy numbers (PFNs) and then to solve the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems. Firstly, we develop some Pythagorean fuzzy Muirhead mean operators by extending MM and DMM operators to Pythagorean fuzzy information. Then, we prove some properties and discuss some special cases with respect to the parameter vector. Moreover, we present some new methods to deal with MADM problems with the PFNs based on the proposed MM and DMM operators. Finally, we verify the validity and reliability of our methods by using an application example for potential evaluation of emerging technology commercialization, and analyze the advantages of our methods by comparing with other existing method
