Abstract

Accurate medical diagnosis, which involves identifying diseases based on patient symptoms, is often hindered by uncertainties in data interpretation and retrieval. Advanced fuzzy set theories have emerged as effective tools to address these challenges. In this paper, new mathematical approaches for handling uncertainty in medical diagnosis are introduced using q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS) and interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (IVq-ROFS). Three aggregation operators are proposed in our methodologies: the q-ROF weighted averaging (q-ROFWA), the q-ROF weighted geometric (q-ROFWG), and the q-ROF weighted neutrality averaging (q-ROFWNA), which enhance decision-making under uncertainty. These operators are paired with ranking methods such as the similarity measure, score function, and inverse score function to improve the accuracy of disease identification. Additionally, the impact of varying q-rung values is explored through a sensitivity analysis, extending the analysis beyond the typical maximum value of 3. The Basic Uncertain Information (BUI) method is employed to simulate expert opinions, and aggregation operators are used to combine these opinions in a group decision-making context. Our results provide a comprehensive comparison of methodologies, highlighting their strengths and limitations in diagnosing diseases based on uncertain patient data.
