Analytics is the scientific process of transforming data into actionable insights that can be utilized to make informed decisions. In real life, and especially in today’s era of big data, the underlying data are frequently ambiguous and indeterminate. Uncertainty stems from ambiguity, which results from a lack of comprehension of the processes that generate outcomes. Since the environment can only be known through perception and cognition, it will always be perceived with a degree of uncertainty. Clearly, environmental uncertainty is a major contributor to indeterminacy. However, it does so indirectly by affecting the properties of system inputs and their effects on other system activities.
Therefore, judgments must be taken with little knowledge in uncertain and indeterminate circumstances since decision-makers (DMs) cannot typically estimate the probability of alternative outcomes with reasonable accuracy. Consequently, uncertainties and indeterminacies must be substituted by manageable notions for DMs.
The fuzzy set is one of the available methods for modeling and quantifying the imprecision and uncertainty that define solution processes. However, it cannot handle all sorts of indeterminate and contradictory data. So, some extensions of fuzzy sets such as intuitionistic fuzzy set, picture fuzzy set, Pythagorean fuzzy set, spherical fuzzy set, neutrosophic set, Plithogenic set, and their generalizations have been proposed.
This special issue aims to compile new and current advancements in the methodologies, strategies, and applications of mathematical models under fuzzy set extensions (FSE) for a variety of practical situations, as well as to highlight the tough issues associated with these concepts. We encourage authors to submit cutting-edge and recent developments in techniques, methodologies, mixed approaches, and research ideas pointing to unresolved difficulties under fuzzy set extensions.
