q-Rung Orthopair Probabilistic Hesitant Fuzzy Rough Aggregation Information and Their Application in Decision Making

The core contribution of this study is to develop a novel generalized idea of q-rung orthopair probabilistic hesitant fuzzy rough set (q-ROPHFRS) which is hybrid structure of the q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, probabilistic hesitant fuzzy set, and rough set. The q-ROPHFRS covers the positive and negative membership grades in the form of probabilistic hesitant fuzzy rough information to address the uncertainties in real-world decision-making problems. This paper proposes a list of novel q-rung orthopair probabilistic hesitant fuzzy rough averaging/geometric aggregation operators to handle the uncertainty effectively and reliably to aggregate the uncertain information under q-ROPHFRSs. Several interesting elementary properties have been investigated. Furthermore, a novel multi-attribute decision-making approach based on the proposed aggregation information is presented. Finally, a numerical application regarding selecting a medical oxygen supplier to the hospital is presented to illustrate the consistency of the developed decision-making technique. The comparison of the proposed technique with q-rung orthopair probabilistic hesitant fuzzy rough TOPSIS shows that the proposed multi-criteria decision-making methodology is reliable and effective in addressing the uncertainty in real-world decision-making problems.
