Cognitive Analysis of Medical Decision-Making: An Extended MULTIMOORA-Based Multigranulation Probabilistic Model with Evidential Reasoning

Abstract

Cognitive computation has leveraged the capabilities of computer algorithms, rendering it an exceptionally efficient approach for addressing multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. Due to the stability of MULTIMOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis plus the full MULTIplicative form) and the capability of evidential reasoning (ER) to combine information from multiple sources, the technique of multigranulation probabilistic rough sets (MG PRSs) holds great promise for solving MAGDM problems. Thus, a new and stable method for MAGDM is proposed. Initially, three forms of multigranulation Pythagorean fuzzy probabilistic rough sets (MG PF PRSs) are constructed using MULTIMOORA approaches. Next, the hierarchical clustering method is employed to cluster similar decision information and consolidate the decision-makers’ preferences. Representatives are chosen from each category to simplify information fusion calculations and reduce complexity by reducing the model’s dimensionality. Following that, the rankings obtained from the three methods are fused using ER. Ultimately, the validity of our method is revealed via a case analysis on chickenpox cases from the UCI data set by employing cognitive analysis. The paper outlines a method for MAGDM that provides significant advantages. Specifically, the use of MULTIMOORA improves the stability of decision results, while the incorporation of ER reduces the overall uncertainty of entire decision processes.
