Social relationships such as friendship and partner choice are ruled by the proximity principle, which states that themore similar two individuals are, themore likely theywill become friends. However, proximity, similarity, and friendship are concepts with blurred edges and imprecise grades of membership. This study shows how to simulate these friendship dynamics in an agent-based model that ap...

This work focuses on the formalization of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map based decision support system using fuzzy If-Then rules (extracted from data) accompanied with the available experts’ knowledge. The proposed approach is applied to build a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) grading tool, an advanced FCM-based model used for prediction. The FCM is a modeling methodology based on exploiting knowledge and exp...

This paper deals with transforming Support vector regression (SVR) models into fuzzy systems (FIS). It is highlighted that trained support vector based models can be used for the construction of fuzzy rule-based regression models. However, the transformed support vector model does not automatically result in an interpretable fuzzy model. Training of a support vector model results a complex rule...

introduction drastic model is an index and overlapping model that has been designed for producing vulnerability scores for different points by combining several thematic layers. overlapping distinguished methods are themost applicable methods for evaluatingvulnerability of aquifers because they are cheap, they can directly reach a defined goal, the used data in the methods are accessible or can...

In this study, a type-2 fuzzy logic-based decision support system comprising clinical examination and blood test results that health professionals can use in addition to existing methods the diagnosis of COVID-19 has been developed. The developed consists three units. first unit produces positivity as percentage according respiratory rate, loss smell, body temperature values, second C-reactive ...

Weather operations play an important and integral part of planning, execution and sustainment of mission operations. In this paper, a neuro-fuzzy hybridization technique is applied to model the weather operations and predict its impact on the effectiveness of air tasking operations and missions. Spatiotemporal weather data from various meteorological sources are collected and used as the input ...

Interpretable fuzzy systems are very desirable for human users to study complex systems. To meet this end, an agent based multi-objective approach is proposed to generate interpretable fuzzy systems from experimental data. The proposed approach can not only generate interpretable fuzzy rule bases, but also optimize the number and distribution of fuzzy sets. The trade-off between accuracy and in...
