Stochastic multiple attribute decision making with Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy set based on regret theory

The objective of this paper is to present an extended approach to address the stochastic multi-attribute decision-making problem. The novelty of this study is to consider the regret behavior of decision makers under a Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment. First, the group satisfaction degree of decision-making matrices is used to consider the different preferences of decision-makers. Second, the nonlinear programming model under different statues is provided to compute the weights of attributes. Then, based on the regret theory, a regret value matrix and a rejoice value matrix are constructed. Furthermore, the feasibility and superiority of the developed approach is proven by an illustrative example of selecting an air fighter. Eventually, a comparative analysis with other methods shows the advantages of the proposed methods.
