Contribution to decision-making in the big data industry based on the multiparametric similarity measure for Pythagorean fuzzy sets

Abstract

Abstract Big Data allows analysing and assessing all human production types with its 5Vs, which are Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity and Value. Big Data is useful to improve decision-making to adjust it better to market demand, specifically selection of supplier that is an important link to optimize the logistic chain of enterprises. In this case, leadership or decider is ahead one serious complex problem, inexact and fuzzy. Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is disposing the indeterminacy data by the membership and the nonmembership functions; it is a generalization of the intuitionist fuzzy set when the last set is limited. First, some results for PFSs are displaying in this study as particular cases and generalization of some binary operations. After, an improved score function of Pythagorean fuzzy number is proposed to avoid the comparison problem in practice. In addition, an existing approach exploring the combined alternatives weight to settle Pythagorean fuzzy issue by multi-parametric similarity measure is applied with the new proposed score function to selection of supplier issue with five serious criteria as a Big Data industry decision-making problem in economic environment. Finally, a comparison of the presented method with some existing approaches has been executed in the light of counterintuitive phenomena for validating its advantages.
