Abstract

In this article we propose the use of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (Atanassov [2]) as a tool for reasoning under imperfect facts and imprecise knowledge, particularly via distances between intuitionistic fuzzy sets. We consider two issues: (1) a method to evaluate a degree (extent) of agreement (meant here as a distance from consensus) in a group of experts (individuals), and (2) a new approach to supporting medical diagnosis based on a reasoning scheme using a distance between intuitionistic fuzzy sets.
