377. Fuzzy Measure Analysis of Radiographic Evaluation

Radiographic Evaluation of Periapical Radiolucencies

Background and purpose: Periapical inflammatory lesions are localized periapical bone reactions that result from pulp necrosis and inflammation or periodontal diseases. Inappropriate treatments are often considered as one of the main factors associated with apical periodontitis. This study was done to evaluate periapical radiolucencies in panoramic radiographs. Materials and methods: In this c...

Risk Evaluation in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Using Fuzzy Measure and Fuzzy Integral

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a popular and useful approach applied to examine potential failures in different products, designs, processes, and services. As a vital index, the risk priority number (RPN) can determine the risk priorities of failure modes by some risk factors such as occurrence (O), severity (S), and detection (D). However, in FMEA, the traditional risk priority nu...

Revision of a fuzzy distance measure

A new similarity measure between type-2 fuzzy numbers and fuzzy risk analysis

In this paper, we present a revised similarity measure based onChen-and-Chen's similarity measure for fuzzy risk analysis. The revisedsimilarity measure uses the corrected formulae to calculate the centre ofgravity points, therefore it is more  effective than the Chen-and-Chen'smethod. The revised similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of theexisting methods. We have also proposed a new ...

Data Analysis with Fuzzy Measure on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets

Study of fuzzy entropy on intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) were proposed, and analyzed. Built in uncertainty in IFSs, it is named as hesitance. It is contained in fuzzy membership function in itself by definition. Hence, designing fuzzy entropy is not easy because there is no general entropy definition about IFSs. By considering existing fuzzy entropy definitions, fuzzy entropy on IFSs is desig...
