The linguistic Pythagorean fuzzy set (LPFS) is an important implement for modeling the uncertain and imprecise information. In this paper, a novel TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method is proposed for LPFSs based on correlation coefficient and entropy meas...
