On Z-Intuitionistic Fuzzy Fractional Valuations for Medical Diagnosis: An Intuitionistic Fuzzy Knowledge-Based Expert System

Abstract

In an uncertain situation, data may present in continuous form or discrete form. We have various techniques to deal with continuous data in a realistic situation. However, when data are in discrete form, the existing techniques are inadequate to deal with these situations, and these techniques cannot provide the proper modulation for adequate analysis of the system. In order to provide the proper acceleration to discrete data, we need an appropriate modulation technique that can help us to handle unconditional boundedness on the technique and will operate like the techniques used for continuous data with fractional variables. In this work, we developed an intuitionistic fuzzy fractional knowledge-based expert system using unconditional and qualified fuzzy propositions based on the Z-intuitionistic fuzzy fractional valuation probability density function. In this proposed method, the discrete fractional variables will be converted into intuitionistic fuzzy fractional numbers and then be used in our algorithm. The proposed Z-intuitionistic fuzzy fractional valuation knowledge-based system can easily be applied in the medical field for the diagnosis of diseases in a vague environment due to the ordered-pair characteristics of the Z-intuitionistic fuzzy fractional valuation. In this study, we collected data of dengue patients, which included seven clinical findings: Temperature, sugar, Pulse Rate (PR), age, cough, and Blood Pressure (BP). A numerical example was also carried out to elaborate on the present technique. In addition, a comparative study is discussed in this work. We also provide the managerial implications of the data, with the limitations of the proposed technique presented at the end of this work.
