In this paper we present, propose and examine additional membership functions for the Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models. More specifically, we present the tangent hyperbolic, Gaussian and Generalized bell functions. Because Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models follow fuzzy logic approach, more fuzzy membership functions should be tested. Furthermore, fuzzy rules can...

This paper presents a methodology that uses the central composite design and radial basis function neural networks in type-1 or interval type-2 model to generate network evaluates quality features an industrial image processing. The includes couple of functions as Huygen’s tractrix triangular membership complementary contributions have not been reported literature functions. advantage using thi...

Adaptive fuzzy logic control systems with Gaussian membership functions are described. A systematic simulation study of 'dynamic focusing of awareness' in fuzzy logic control systems is provided. This study shows how the final steady-state values of the membership functions change in response to varying initial membership functions, changing desired trajectory, and varying system nonlinearities...

Uncertain set theory is a generalization of uncertainty theory that has become a new branch of mathematics for modeling human belief degrees. Uncertain set is a fundamental concept to describe unsharp concepts in uncertain set theory. The moments are important characteristics of an uncertain set. This paper studies the moments and central moments of uncertain set and gives some formulas to calc...

We consider pattern matching problems where patterns are presented as sequences of fuzzy constraints on input elements. Given an infinite alphabet A, a pattern P [α,β] is a sequence ­ μi1 , μi2 , ..., μim ® of membership functions μij defined on A. The pattern P fuzzy matches an input sequence t ∈ A∗ if t = ux1x2 · · ·xmv such that

Scene classification has received much attention in the recent past. How images can be efficiently classified becomes an important research topic. Most of the stateof-the-art solutions assumed that scene classes are mutually exclusive. But, different human beings have different perceptions, and different people tend to respond inconsistently even to the same scene images. Hence, a scene image m...

A set o f questionnaires was prepared to compare four elicitation methods: point esthnation, bzterval estflnation, membership function exemplification, and pairwise comparison. Technical and nontechnical topics were involved, assuming subjects performed either as measurenlent instruments or as repositories o f knowledge. The advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each method are discusse...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Science, Hebei University of Engineering, Handan 056038, China Abstract Uncertain set is a set-valued function on an uncertainty space, and attempts to model unsharp concepts. Membership function is used to describe the membership degree that a value belongs to the uncertain set. In order to estimate the membership function for an uncertain set via...

It is likely in real-world applications that only little data is available for training a knowledge-based system. We present a method for automatically training the knowledge-representing membership functions of a Fuzzy-Pattern-Classification system that works also when only little data is available and the universal set is described insufficiently. Actually, this paper presents how the Modifie...

Network-centric military operations are redefining information overload as military commanders and staffs are inundated with vast amounts of information. Recent research has developed a fuzzy-based system to assign a Value of Information (VoI) determination for individual pieces of information. This paper presents an investigation on the effect of using triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy membersh...
