Reliability Analysis of Poll Data with Novel Entropy Information Measure in Multicriteria Decision-Making Based upon Picture Fuzzy Environment

Abstract

The polling system has a considerable role in the democratic nation. The uncertainty of the people’s participation in polling generally affects the electoral-based system. Therefore, PFS (picture fuzzy set) is the furthermost efficient and useful extension of IFS (intuitionistic fuzzy set) in a fuzzy system capable of precisely handling human perception in the decision-making system. The PFS structure involves the different degrees, i.e., membership, nonmembership, neutral, and hesitancy which are comprehensively applied to such types of complex practical problems in the real-life scenario. This advantage of PFS motivates the author to propose PFSs centred novel entropy measure via this communication, which is comparatively more generalized, reliable, and simplified in place of the existing uncertain measures. The practicability of the proposed present research work is to deal with real-world problems pertaining to the relative importance of the attributes. Therefore, certainly, the proposed novel entropy developed a different approach to handle the uncertainty more precisely as a part of the existing approaches. The validation proof of the proposed entropy measure is proved in an organized manner and practically employed in the perspective of the polling data outcomes about the people’s opinions with the VIKOR-TOPSIS approach.
