RT Journal Article ID 40ada6673cd96815 A1 Nancy, A1 Garg, Harish T1 AN IMPROVED SCORE FUNCTION FOR RANKING NEUTROSOPHIC SETS AND ITS APPLICATION TO DECISION-MAKING PROCESS JF International Journal for Uncertainty Quantification JO IJUQ YR 2016 FD 2016-12-16 VO 6 IS 5 SP 377 OP 385 K1 score function K1 neutrosophic set K1 expert system K1 decision making AB The neutrosophic set (NS) is a more general platform which generalizes the concept of crisp, fuzzy, and intuitionistic fuzzy sets to describe the membership functions in terms of truth, indeterminacy, and false degree. Under this environment, the present paper proposes an improved score function for ranking the single as well as interval-valued NSs by incorporating the idea of hesitation degree between the truth and false degrees. Shortcomings of the existing function have been highlighted in it. Further, the decision-making method has been presented based on proposed function and illustrates it with a numerical example to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.
