A Fuzzy Cognitive Map Approach for Analyzing Impact of Social Aspects Contributing to Homelessness
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction: There is a lack of consensus among researchers about the exact definition of homelessness [1] but in a broader context and in this research, a person is considered homeless who "lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence [2]”. Homelessness in Vancouver is a challenge to the social development of the community. A recent survey of homeless count [3] revealed that Vancouver has witnessed 106% increase in homelessness during 2002-2005. Homelessness Partnership Initiative [4], a federal government program, is designed to reduce homeless communities in several areas including Vancouver.

Analyzing the impact of social factors on homelessness: a Fuzzy Cognitive Map approach
BACKGROUND The forces which affect homelessness are complex and often interactive in nature. Social forces such as addictions, family breakdown, and mental illness are compounded by structural forces such as lack of available low-cost housing, poor economic conditions, and insufficient mental health services. Together these factors impact levels of homelessness through their dynamic relations. ...

Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...

Learning of fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) is one of the most useful characteristics which have a high impact on modeling and inference capabilities of them. The learning approaches for FCMs are concentrated on learning the connection matrix, based either on expert intervention and/or on the available historical data. Most learning approaches for FCMs are Hebbian-based and evolutionary-based algor...
