Confidence Level Aggregation Operators Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Rough Sets With Application in Medical Diagnosis

Abstract

In recent days, due to the complexities of different diseases of similar types, it becomes very difficult to diagnose an accurate type of disease, and so medical diagnosis becomes a difficult task for the experts working in health departments. Many researchers try to develop new methods and techniques to over the difficulties that come across in the way of medical diagnosis. In this paper, we try to develop some novel techniques that will help experts to diagnose diseases accurately. Based on a more advanced structure of intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets, in this article, we establish confidence-level intuitionistic fuzzy average/geometric aggregation operators to incorporate the familiarity degree of experts with evaluated objects for an initial assessment while intuitionistic fuzzy rough average/geometric aggregation operators cannot do so. Moreover, we have given some basic properties of the initiated operators. To show the effective use of these operators we have proposed an algorithm with an illustrative example. Furthermore, based on the intuitionistic fuzzy rough model, we have also established a medical diagnosis model to incorporate the difficulty that occurs in the diagnosis of disease. Furthermore, a comparative analysis demonstrates the efficiency of our proposed methods.
