Description
Summary:Abstract Due to the fuzziness of the medical field, q-rung orthopair fuzzy 2-tuple linguistic (q-RF2L) set is the privileged way to aid medical professionals in conveying their assessments in the patient prioritization problem. The theme of the present study is to put forward a novel approach centered around the merging of prioritized averaging (PA) and the Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator within q-RF2L context. According to the prioritization of the professionals and the correlation among the defined criteria, we apply both PA and MSM to assess priority degrees and relationships, respectively. Keeping the pluses of the PA and MSM operators in mind, we introduce two aggregation operators (AOs), namely q-RF2L prioritized Maclaurin symmetric mean and q-RF2L prioritized dual Maclaurin symmetric mean operators. Meanwhile, some essential features and remarks of the proposed AOs are discussed at length. Based on the formulated AOs, we extend the weighted aggregated sum product assessment methodology to cope with q-RF2L decision-making problems. Ultimately, to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the stated methodology, a real-world example of patients’ prioritization problem is addressed, and an in-depth analysis with prevailing methods is performed.
