Abstract
Correlation measure is an applicable tool in Pythagorean fuzzy domain for resolving problems of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). Szmidt and Kacprzyk proposed a correlation coefficient in intuitionistic fuzzy domain (IFSs) by considering the orthodox parameters of IFSs. Nonetheless, the approach contradicts the axiomatic description of correlation coefficient between IFSs in literature. In this paper we modify the Szmidt and Kacprzyk’s approach for measuring correlation coefficient between IFSs to satisfy the axiomatic description of correlation coefficient, and extend the modified version to Pythagorean fuzzy environment. Some numerical illustrations are considered to ascertain the merit of the modified version over Szmidt and Kacprzyk’s approach. Finally, the proposed correlation coefficient measure is applied to resolve some pattern recognition problems. In recap, the goal of this paper is to modify Szmidt and Kacprzyk’s correlation coefficient for IFSs, extend it to Pythagorean fuzzy context with pattern recognition applications.
