Application of neutrosophic logic to evaluate correlation between prostate cancer mortality and dietary fat assumption

Abstract

This paper presents an epidemiological study on the dietary fat that causes prostate cancer in an uncertainty environment. To study this relationship under the indeterminate environment, data from 30 countries are selected for the prostate cancer death rate and dietary fat level in the food. The neutrosophic correlation and regression line are fitted on the data. We note from the neutrosophic analysis that the prostate cancer death rate increases as the dietary fat level in the people increases. The neutrosophic regression coefficient also confirms this claim. From this study, we conclude that neutrosophic regression is a more effective model under uncertainty than the regression model under classical statistics. We also found a statistical correlation between dietary fat and prostate cancer risk.
