A Novel Fuzzy Parameterized Fuzzy Hypersoft Set and Riesz Summability Approach Based Decision Support System for Diagnosis of Heart Diseases

Diagnostics (Basel). 2022 Jun 24;12(7):1546. doi: 10.3390/diagnostics12071546.

Abstract

Fuzzy parameterized fuzzy hypersoft set (Δ-set) is more flexible and reliable model as it is capable of tackling features such as the assortment of attributes into their relevant subattributes and the determination of vague nature of parameters and their subparametric-valued tuples by employing the concept of fuzzy parameterization and multiargument approximations, respectively. The existing literature on medical diagnosis paid no attention to such features. Riesz Summability (a classical concept of mathematical analysis) is meant to cope with the sequential nature of data. This study aims to integrate these features collectively by using the concepts of fuzzy parameterized fuzzy hypersoft set (Δ-set) and Riesz Summability. After investigating some properties and aggregations of Δ-set, two novel decision-support algorithms are proposed for medical diagnostic decision-making by using the aggregations of Δ-set and Riesz mean technique. These algorithms are then validated using a case study based on real attributes and subattributes of the Cleveland dataset for heart-ailments-based diagnosis. The real values of attributes and subattributes are transformed into fuzzy values by using appropriate transformation criteria. It is proved that both algorithms yield the same and reliable results while considering hypersoft settings. In order to judge flexibility and reliability, the preferential aspects of the proposed study are assessed by its structural comparison with some related pre-developed structures. The proposed approach ensures that reliable results can be obtained by taking a smaller number of evaluating traits and their related subvalues-based tuples for the diagnosis of heart-related ailments.
