Clustering within the Framework of Hesitant Fuzzy Sets

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a variety of correlation coefficient measures for hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) and investigate their properties. Moreover, we utilize the concepts of correlation relation matrix, composition matrix and equivalent correlation relation matrix to deal with the clustering problem under hesitant fuzzy environment. Finally, a numerical example is utilized to validate the proposed correlation coefficient measures and the clustering method.
