q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets-based decision-theoretic rough sets for three-way decisions under group decision making

摘要

As an extension of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, the q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs) can easily solve uncertain information in a broader perspective. Considering the fine property of q-ROFSs, we introduce q-ROFSs into decision-theoretic rough sets (DTRSs) and use it to portray the loss function. According to the Bayesian decision procedure, we further construct a basic model of q-rung orthopair fuzzy decision-theoretic rough sets (q-ROFDTRSs) under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment. At the same time, we design the corresponding method for the deduction of three-way decisions by utilizing projection-based distance measures and TOPSIS. Then, we extend q-ROFDTRSs to adapt the group decision-making (GDM) scenario. To fuse different experts' evaluation results, we propose some new aggregation operators of q-ROFSs by utilizing power average (PA) and power geometric (PG) operators, that is, q-rung orthopair fuzzy power average, q-rung orthopair fuzzy power weighted average (q-ROFPWA), q-rung orthopair fuzzy power geometric, and q-rung orthopair fuzzy power weighted geometric (q-ROFPWG). In addition, with the aid of q-ROFPWA and q-ROFPWG, we investigate three-way decisions with q-ROFDTRSs under the GDM situation. Finally, we give the example of a rural e-commence GDM problem to illustrate the application of our proposed method and verify our results by conducting two comparative experiments.
