Discussion on fuzzy decision making based on fuzzy number and compositional rule of inference
This paper provides an improved decision making approach based on fuzzy numbers and the compositional rule of inference by Yao and Yao (2001). They claimed to have created a new method that combines statistical methods and fuzzy theory for medical diagnosis. Currently, numerous papers have...

This paper provides an improved decision making approach based on fuzzy
numbers and the compositional rule of inference by Yao and Yao (2001). They
claimed to have created a new method that combines statistical methods and
fuzzy theory for medical diagnosis. Currently, numerous papers have cited
that work. In this study, we show that if we follow their matrix
multiplication operation approach, we will obtain the same result as the
original method proposed by Klir and Yuan (1995). Owing to a wellknown
property of (row) stochastic matrices, if the multiplication is closed, the
fuzzy and defuzzy procedure of Yao and Yao (2001) is redundant. Therefore, we
advise researchers to think twice before applying this approach to medical
diagnosis. |
