The trapezoidal neutrosophic set is a useful tool for dealing with vague, complex, and uncertain information. In this study, the authors enhanced the original EDAS (Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution) method by incorporating trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers (TNNs) to solving a multiple-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problem. They calculated the average solution for each criteria using two existing aggregation operators of TNNs. After that, they determined the positive and negative distances of every alternative from the average ideal solution and calculated these appraisal scores for the alternatives. Us- ing these scores, they ranked the alternatives. At last, the authors illustrated the practicality, stability, along with the effectiveness made of the improved EDAS method by analyzing the influence of various parameters.
