Abstract

As one of the burgeoning decision-making instruments, the integrity of dual probabilistic linguistic term sets (DPLTSs) is to express the decision information in terms of cognitive certainty and uncertainty. The superiority of correlation coefficient is to demonstrate the interrelationship of the variables. This paper aims to give full play to the advantages of the above two. Firstly, it defines the dual probabilistic linguistic correlation coefficient. Then, it is based on the proposed entropy for DPLTSs calculates the comprehensive weight vector. Moreover, combined with the proposed correlation coefficient, it further defines the weighted correlation coefficient as a measure for the application about artificial intelligence. Besides, it uses the dual probabilistic linguistic closeness coefficient as the reference to compare the pros and cons. Finally, a specific numeric simulation is utilized to demonstrate the feasibility of the two different measures.
