A Novel Fuzzy Decision-Making Method Using Entropy Weights-Based Correlation Coefficients Under Intuitionistic Fuzzy Environment

AbstractIn this communication, a new two parametric intuitionistic fuzzy entropy has been introduced and validated. Some of the properties of the proposed measure are also discussed. In addition to this, a new multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) method based on weighted correlation coefficients and the proposed IF entropy is introduced. The necessity of proposed MADM method has been reasonably established. The method is effectively explained with the help of two numerical examples, and the performance is genuinely compared with some existing MADM methods in the literature. Attribute weights play an important role in the solution of MADM problem. In this paper, two methods of obtaining attributes weights are discussed.
