q-rung picture fuzzy sets can handle complex fuzzy and. impression information by changing a parameter q based on the different hesitation degree, and Yager per or is a useful aggregation technology that can control the uncertainty of valuating data from some experts and thus get intensive information in the process of decision-making. Thus, in this paper, we develop specific types of operators, namely, q-rung picture fuzzy Yager weighted average, q-rung picture fuzzy Yager ordered weighted average, q-rung picture fuzzy Yager hybrid weighted average, q-rung picture fuzzy Yager weighted geometric, q-rung picture fuzzy Yager ordered weighted geometric and q-rung picture fuzzy Yager hybrid weighted geometric operators. We propose q-rung picture fuzzy Yager aggregation operators to handle multiple attribute decision-making problems in a modernize way. Moreover, we discuss the effect of parameter on the decision-making results. To demonstrate the superiority and advantage of our proposed method, a comparison with existing methods is presented.
