Abstract

The probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy sets (PDHFSs), which are able to consider multiple membership and non-membership degrees as well as their probabilistic information, provide decision experts a flexible manner to evaluate attribute values in complicated realistic multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) situations. However, recently developed MADM approaches on the basis of PDHFSs still have a number of shortcomings in both evaluation information expression and attribute values integration. Hence, our aim is to evade these drawbacks by proposing a new decision-making method. To realize this purpose, first of all a new fuzzy information representation manner is introduced, called q -rung probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy sets ( q -RPDHFSs), by capturing the probability of each element in q -rung dual hesitant fuzzy sets. The most attractive character of q -RPDHFSs is that they give decision experts incomparable degree of freedom so that attribute values of each alternative can be appropriately depicted. To make the utilization of q -RPDHFSs more convenient, we continue to introduce basic operational rules, comparison method and distance measure of q -RPDHFSs. When considering to integrate attribute values in q -rung probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy MADM problems, we propose a series of novel operators based on the power average and Muirhead mean. As displayed in the main text, the new operators exhibit good performance and high efficiency in information fusion process. At last, a new MADM method with q -RPDHFSs and its main steps are demonstrated in detail. Its performance in resolving practical decision-making situations is studied by examples analysis.
