Interval computations and interval-related statistical techniques: estimating uncertainty of the results of data processing and indirect measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
In many practical situations, we only know the upper bound ∆ on the measurement error: |∆x| ≤ ∆. In other words, we only know that the measurement error is located on the interval [−∆,∆]. The traditional approach is to assume that ∆x is uniformly distributed on [−∆,∆]. In some situations, however, this approach underestimates the error of indirect measurements. It is therefore desirable to directly process this interval uncertainty. Such “interval computations” methods have been developed since the 1950s. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of related algorithms and results.

Interval Computations and Interval-Related Statistical Techniques: Tools for Estimating Uncertainty of the Results of Data Processing and Indirect Measurements
In many practical situations, we only know the upper bound ∆ on the (absolute value of the) measurement error ∆x, i.e., we only know that the measurement error is located on the interval [−∆ ,∆ ]. The traditional engineering approach to such situations is to assume that ∆x is uniformly distributed on [−∆ ,∆ ], and to use the corresponding statistical techniques. In some situations, however, thi...
متن کاملInterval MULTIMOORA method with target values of attributes based on interval distance and preference degree: biomaterials selection
A target-based MADM method covers beneficial and non-beneficial attributes besides target values for some attributes. Such techniques are considered as the comprehensive forms of MADM approaches. Target-based MADM methods can also be used in traditional decision-making problems in which beneficial and non-beneficial attributes only exist. In many practical selection problems, some attributes ha...

Controller design remains an elusive and challenging problem foruncertain nonlinear dynamics. Interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (IT2FLS) incomparison with type-1 fuzzy logic systems claim to effectively handle systemuncertainties especially in the presence of disturbances and noises, but lack aformal mechanism to guarantee performance. In contrast, adaptive sliding modecontrol (ASMC) provides...
متن کاملProposing a Robust Model of Interval Data Envelopment Analysis to Performance Measurement under Double Uncertainty Situations
It is very necessary to consider the uncertainty in the data and how to deal with it when performance measurement using data envelopment analysis. Because a little deviation in the data can lead to a significant change in the performance results. However, in the real world and in many cases, the data is uncertain. Interval data envelopment analysis is one of the most widely used approaches to d...
متن کاملA Bootstrap Interval Robust Data Envelopment Analysis for Estimate Efficiency and Ranking Hospitals
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of non-parametric methods for evaluating efficiency of each unit. Limited resources in healthcare economy is the main reason in measuring efficiency of hospitals. In this study, a bootstrap interval data envelopment analysis (BIRDEA) is proposed for measuring the efficiency of hospitals affiliated with the Hamedan University of Medical Sciences. The propos...
