A brief summary on and comprehensive understanding of fuzzy optimization is presented. This summary is made on aspects of fuzzy modelling and fuzzy optimization, classification and formulation for the fuzzy optimization problems, models and methods. The importance of interpretation of the problem and formulation of the optimal solution in fuzzy sense are emphasized in the summary of the fuzzy o...

In this paper river stage discharge models using Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Linear Multiple Regression (MLR) methods have been developed. This paper also investigates the best model to forecast river discharge. From the literature it is clear that ANN models and Fuzzy logic models are quite applicable on river stage discharge modelling. Hence this present study carried out...

Texture can be considered as a repeating pattern of local variation of pixel intensities. In texture classification the goal is to assign an unknown sample image to a set of known texture classes. One of the difficulties in texture classification was the lack of tools that characterize textures. Classification of textures has received attention during last few decades. As DCT works on gray leve...

The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...

introduction: snowmelt runoff plays an important role in providing water and agricultural resources, especially in mountainous areas. there are different methods to simulate the process of snowmelt. inter alia, degree-day model, based on temperature-index is more cited. snowmelt runoff model is a conceptual hydrological model to simulate and predict the daily flow of rivers in the mountainous b...

Data mining techniques can be used to discover useful patterns by exploring and analyzing data, so, it is feasible to incorporate data mining techniques into the classification process to discover useful patterns or classification rules from training samples. This paper thus proposes a data mining technique to discover fuzzy classification rules based on the well-known Apriori algorithm. Signif...

The classification and regression trees (CART) possess the advantage of being able to handlelarge data sets and yield readily interpretable models. In spite to these advantages, they are alsorecognized as highly unstable classifiers with respect to minor perturbations in the training data.In the other words methods present high variance. Fuzzy logic brings in an improvement in theseaspects due ...
