This preprint proposes an integrated multi-attribute group decision-making framework for hypertension risk management with unknown weights, using interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and combining Yager operators, CRITIC, and WASPAS. The authors extend distance measurements and introduce a new score function for interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy numbers, extend Yager weighted average/geometric operators, and develop methods to derive expert and attribute weights aimed at avoiding deficiencies of overall decision perspectives. They apply the resulting MAGDM algorithm to hypertension risk management, reporting results consistent with experts’ opinions and claiming effectiveness and feasibility based on comparative analyses. A major caveat is that the work is a Research Square preprint and not peer reviewed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract This paper develops a new group decision-making (GDM) method for multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems with unknown weights, which integrates Yager operator, CRITIC and WASPAS decision methods under interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (IVq-ROFS). The main contributions of this paper are concluded as below: (1) We first extend the distance measurement to interval-valued q-rung fuzzy numbers (IVq-ROFNs), and proves its properties. And we develop a new score function which is used to measure IVq-ROFNs, and the new score function overcomes the deficiencies of the existing score function. (2) We extend Yager weighted average operator (IVq-ROFYWA) and Yager weighted geometric average operator (IVq-ROFYWG) under IVq-ROFS, and we discuss the properties of IVq-ROFYWA and IVq-ROFYWG operators. (3) We propose a new method to derive expert weights of different alternatives, which can avoid the deficiency of overall decision-making perspective. And we extend deriving attribute weights method based on CRITIC under IVq-ROFS. (4) A new integrated MAGDM method is proposed. The MAGDM method integrates Yager operator, score function, distance measurement, expert weights deriving method, CRITIC method, and WASPAS method. (5) Finally, the group decision-making algorithm is used for hypertension risk management. The results are consistent with experts’ opinions. And comparing and analyzing results show that the proposed MAGDM method is effective and feasible.
