Crisp comparison matrices produce crisp weight estimates. It is logical for an interval or fuzzy comparison matrix to give an interval or fuzzy weight estimate. In this paper, an eigenvector method (EM) is proposed to generate interval or fuzzy weight estimate from an interval or fuzzy comparison matrix, which differs from Csutora and Buckley’s LambdaMax method in several aspects. First, the pr...

In fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) method, it is difficult to ensure a consistent pairwise comparison. Furthermore, establishing a ...

Hormone secretion is an intrinsically discontinuous process characterized by a pul-satile pattern. In this paper we describe a fuzzy deconvolution method for pulsatile hormone secretion signals. The secretion signal is modeled as a Poisson process. The fuzzy deconvolution method is based on fuzzy identiication by using learning signals, mountain clustering and optimal output predefuzziication. ...

Fuzzy Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematical tool for the effective representation of imprecise and vague knowledge. However, with a large number of formal concepts from a fuzzy context, the task of knowledge representation becomes complex. Hence, knowledge reduction is an important issue in FCA with a fuzzy setting. The purpose of this current study is to address this issue by proposi...

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Abstract In this paper, the researcher proposes a modi ed new method to rank L-R fuzzy numbers. The modi ed method uses a defuzzi cation of parametrically represented fuzzy numbers that have been studied in [20]. This parameterized defuzzi cation can be used as a crisp approximation with respect to a fuzzy quantity. In this article, the researcher uses this defuzz...

In this paper we are presenting an intelligent method for controlling population size in evolutionary algorithms. The method uses Mediative Fuzzy Logic for modeling knowledge from experts about what should be the behavior of population size through generations based on the fitness variance and the number of generations that the algorithm is being stuck. Since, it is common that this kind of kno...

In this work we use the Choquet integral as an aggregation function and we apply it in the fuzzy reasoning method of fuzzy rule-based classification systems. We study the behaviour of several fuzzy measures and we propose a genetic learning method of an appropriate fuzzy measure to model the interaction among the set of rules of each class. In the experimental study we show that the new proposa...
