Abstract

In determining the degree of linear relationship between two variables the correlation coefficient measure is an important tool used in many areas such as statistics, engineering sciences and medical sciences. There are many studies on correlation coefficient measure under ordinary fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy environments. Correlation coefficient between two neutrosophic sets plays an important role in determining relationship between two variables expressed with neutrosophic values in the real world. In this chapter, we present methods of correlation coefficient measures between two neutrosophic sets, two interval-neutrosophic sets and two neutrosophic refined sets . Furthermore, we present some applications of these methods in multi-criteria decision-making problems.
