An Application of Interval-Valued Fuzzy Soft Sets in Medical Diagnosis

The concept of soft set is one of the recent topics developed for dealing with the uncertainties present in most of our real life situations. The parametrization tool of soft set theory enhance the flexibility of its applications. In this paper we extend Sanchez’s approach for medical diagnosis using interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and exhibit the technique with a hypothetical case study.
