On an Enhanced Method for a More Meaningful Ranking of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Alternatives

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6113))

Abstract

We consider an approach for ranking alternatives represented by Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs) which takes into account not only the amount of information related to an alternative (expressed here by the normalized Hamming and the normalized Euclidean distances from the ideal positive alternative) but also the reliability of information (how sure the information is) expressed here by a so-called hesitation margin.
