The concept was concretely designed to represent uncertainty and vagueness in mathematical way and to furnish a formalized tool for tackling imprecision to real problems. In the present paper, we have used both probabilistic and nonprobabilistic types to calculate fuzzy entropy of PFSs. Firstly, a probabilistic\u2010type entropy measure for PFSs is proposed and then axiomatic definitions and properties are established. Secondly, we utilize a nonprobabilistic\u2010type with distances to construct new entropy measures for PFSs. Then a min\u2013max operation to calculate entropy measures for PFSs is suggested. Some examples are also used to demonstrate suitability and reliability of the proposed methods, especially for choosing the best one\/ones in structured linguistic variables. Furthermore, a new method based on the chosen entropies is presented for Pythagorean fuzzy multicriterion decision making to compute criteria weights with ranking of alternatives. A comparison analysis with the most recent and relevant Pythagorean fuzzy entropy is conducted to reveal the advantages of our developed methods. Finally, this method is applied for ranking China\u2010Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects. These examples with applications demonstrate practical effectiveness of the proposed entropy measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/2832839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,1]],"date-time":"2018-11-01T23:49:48Z","timestamp":1541116188000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Fuzzy Entropy for Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets with Application to Multicriterion Decision Making"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4907-3548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miin-Shen","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Zahid","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","first-page":"338","article-title":"Fuzzy sets","volume":"8","author":"Zadeh L.
