Fuzzy-evidence approach to uncertainty modelling and reliability
نویسنده
چکیده
Conventional approach to mathematical description of experiments applies probability theory. Here, another approach is used to express uncertainty based on probability, fuzzy sets, and evidence theory. The paper presents a new reliability model of an element working in different environmental and stress conditions. Fuzzy and probability descriptions are combined together using evidence theory to describe failure rate of an element. The method presented in the paper is more general, not limited to reliability problems only.

The paper introduces a new approach to preference structure, where from a weak preference relation derive the following relations:strict preference, indifference and incomparability, which by aggregations and negations are created and examined. We decomposing a preference relation into a strict preference, anindifference, and an incomparability relation.This approach allows one to quantify diff...
متن کاملMEAN-ABSOLUTE DEVIATION PORTFOLIO SELECTION MODEL WITH FUZZY RETURNS
In this paper, we consider portfolio selection problem in which security returns are regarded as fuzzy variables rather than random variables. We first introduce a concept of absolute deviation for fuzzy variables and prove some useful properties, which imply that absolute deviation may be used to measure risk well. Then we propose two mean-absolute deviation models by defining risk as abs...

While sophisticated analytical methods like Morgenstern-Price or finite elementmethods are available for more realistic analysis of stability of slopes, assessment of the exactvalues of soil parameters is practically impossible. Uncertainty in the soil parameters arisesfrom two different sources: scatter in data and systematic error inherent in the estimate of soilproperties. Hence, stability o...
متن کاملReliability Modelling with Fuzzy Covariates
Uncertainty is an intrinsic feature of data containing the underlying information of reliability engineering realities. Randomness and fuzziness are two different type uncertainties although there is certain link between them. Cox’s PH (Proportional Hazards) models and Lawless and Thiagarajah’s CIF (Conditional Intensity Function) models addressed the random uncertainty in a very general format...

Type-2 fuzzy set theory is one of the most powerful tools for dealing with the uncertainty and imperfection in dynamic and complex environments. The applications of type-2 fuzzy sets and soft computing methods are rapidly emerging in the ecological fields such as air pollution and weather prediction. The air pollution problem is a major public health problem in many cities of the world. Predict...
