Interval-valued fuzzy soft set is one efficient mathematical model employed to handle the uncertainty of data. At present, there exist two interval-valued fuzzy soft set-based decision-making algorithms. However, the two existing algorithms are not applicable in some cases. Therefore, for the purpose of working out this problem, we propose a new decision-making algorithm, based on the average table and the antitheses table, for this mathematical model. Here, the antitheses table has symmetry between the objects. At the same time, an example is designed to prove the availability of our algorithm. Later, we compare our proposed algorithm with the two existing decision-making algorithms in several cases. The comparison result shows that only our proposed algorithm can make an effective decision in exceptional cases, and the other two methods cannot make decisions. It is therefore obvious that our algorithm has a stronger decision-making ability, thus further demonstrating the feasibility of our algorithm. In addition, a real data set of the homestays in Siming District, Xiamen is provided to further corroborate the practicability of our algorithm in a realistic situation.

We introduce the concept of generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set and its operations and study some of their properties. We give applications of this theory in solving a decision making problem. We also introduce a similarity measure of two generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and discuss its application in a medical diagnosis problem: fuzzy set; soft set; fuzzy soft set; generalised fuzzy soft set; generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set; interval-valued fuzzy set; interval-valued fuzzy soft set.

As seed selection is a challenging task due to the presence of hundreds of varieties of seeds of each kind, some homework is necessary for selecting suitable seeds as new varieties and kinds of seeds are introduced in the market every year having their own strengths and weaknesses. The complexities involved in the characteristics in the form of parameters results in uncertainties and as a result some uncertainty based model or hybrid models of more than is required to model the scenario and come out with a decision. Soft sets have enough of parameterization tools to support and hence is the most suitable one for such a study. However, as hybrid models are more efficient, the authors select a model called the interval valued fuzzy soft set (IVFSS) and propose a decision-making algorithm for the selection of seeds. A real database of seeds is used for experimental verification of the efficiency of the algorithm. This is the first attempt for such a study. The use of signed priorities and intervals for the membership of values for entities makes the study more efficient and realistic.

A concept of interval-valued triangular fuzzy soft set is presented, and some operations of “AND,” “OR,” intersection, union and complement, and so forth are defined. Then some relative properties are discussed and several conclusions are drawn. A dynamic decision making model is built based on the definition of interval-valued triangular fuzzy soft set, in which period weight is determined by the exponential decay method. The arithmetic weighted average operator of interval-valued triangular fuzzy soft set is given by the aggregating thought, thereby aggregating interval-valued triangular fuzzy soft sets of different time-series into a collective interval-valued triangular fuzzy soft set. The formulas of selection and decision values of different objects are given; therefore the optimal decision making is achieved according to the decision values. Finally, the steps of this method are concluded, and one example is given to explain the application of the method.

By combining the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy set and soft set models, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets. Further, some operations on the interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets are investigated, such as complement, “AND,” “OR,” ring sum, and ring product operations. Then, by means of reduct interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and level hesitant fuzzy soft sets, we present an adjustable approach to interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft sets based on decision making and some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the developed approach. Finally, the weighted interval-valued hesitant fuzzy soft set is also introduced and its application in decision making problem is shown.

 Present study is an interdisciplinary approach towards rapid and efficient medical diagnosis. The research articulated on data set of cross-sectional study of pregnant females dwelling rural area of Pakistan. The prognosis of gestational wellbeing followed through analyzing heterogenic medical information to develop a holistic picture of ongoing pregnancy. Therefore, for rapid medical diagnosis and precision in decision-making, Fuzzy Soft Set (denoted as FSS) theory selected to develop an algorithm. The algorithm constructed as single point, multipoint and cumulative diagnosis for predicting health status with respect of Hemoglobin, Body Mass Index and Random Glucose Concentration (Respectively denoted as Hb, BMI and RGC) of subjects under study. We successfully proposed novel approach for complex modeling and provision of algorithm for medical diagnosis. The algorithms successfully dealt with analyzing diversely attributed detailed medical tests/reports as input. The output of complex modeling effectively served efficient decision-making in predicting gestational wellbeing.
