Abstract
Scoring methods are the most frequently used multi attribute decision-making methods because of their easiness and effectiveness. In this chapter, Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Weighted Product Methods (WPM) are extended to their fuzzy versions by using recently developed fuzzy extension which is entitled spherical fuzzy sets. These sets not only overcome the vagueness but also clarify hesitancy of decision makers’ judgments. This also presents larger preference domain to decision makers. In this chapter, we apply single-valued and interval-valued spherical SAW and WPM methods for the selection of insurance options.
