Comparison between some existing sets and SLDFS.

SetAdvantagesLimitations

FS [12, 13]It can handle imprecise informationIt cannot handle nonmembership values
IFS [5, 6, 25]It contains the membership and nonmembership valuesIt will not work for the case
PyFS [79, 23]It can be used when the sum of membership and nonmembership grades exceeds 1It will not work for the case
q-ROFS [10, 11]It is more efficient than PyFs. We can handle the sum of -power of membership and nonmembership values less than 1It cannot be used for or if “” is small with
PFS [14]It is efficient than IFS. This theory is used when we express the sum of membership, neutral, and nonmembership less than 1It will not work for the case
SFS [15]It is better than PFS and PyFS. It works for the case It will not work for the case
q-RPFS [17]It is better than PFS. It could handle when the sum of -power of membership, neutral, and nonmembership is less than 1It cannot be used for or if the value of “” is smaller with
SLDF (proposed)(1) It can handle all circumstances where FS, IFS, PyFS, q-ROFS, PFS, SFS, and q-RPFS cannot be usedCalculation is complicated
(2) It takes a parameterization approach and operates under the effect of reference parameters
(3) Membership, abstinence, and nonmembership grades may be freely selected from [0, 1]
