A new multi-criteria decision-making method based on intuitionistic fuzzy information and its application to fault detection in a machine

摘要

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFSs) introduced by Atanassov are well suitable to deal with hesitancy and vagueness. In this communication, a new bi-parametric exponential information measure based on IFSs is introduced. Besides establishing its validity, some of its major properties are also discussed. Further, a new multi-criteria decision-making method based on the proposed IF measure and weighted correlation coefficients is introduced. The proposed method is utilized in detecting the fault in a machine that is not working properly through a numerical example.
