Inthis paper, several distance and similarity measures between two IntervalNeutrosophic sets have been discussed. Distances and similarities are veryuseful techniques to determine interacting segments in a data set. Here we havealso shown an application of our similarity measures in solving a multicriteriadecision making method based on INS’s. Finally, we take an illustrative examplefrom [14] to apply the proposed decision making method. We use the distance aswell as the similarity measures between each alternative and ideal alternativeto form a ranking order and also to find the best alternative. We compare theobtained results with the existing result in [14] and also reveal the bestdistance and similarity measure to find the best alternative and also point outthe best alternative.
