A novel approach to the problem of regression modeling for fuzzy input-output data is introduced.In order to estimate the parameters of the model, a distance on the space of interval-valued quantities is employed.By minimizing the sum of squared errors, a class of regression models is derived based on the interval-valued data obtained from the $alpha$-level sets of fuzzy input-output data.Then,...

Fuzzy measures have been widely used to determine the degrees of subjective importance of evaluation items. However, the leniency error may exist when most attributes are assigned unduly high ratings. Because respondents often assign similarly complimentary scores, errors of positive leniency make it difficult to differentiate the importance of decision attributes. To reduce positive leniency i...

The optimum hop timing estimator (based on likelihood-ratio (LR) theory) is derived for noncoherent slow and fast frequency-hopped M-FSK intercept receivers. Such receivers have no a priori knowledge of the hopping code and thus the solution to this estimation problem differs considerably from the more commonly considered case of the friendly receiver. The implementation and performance of the ...

Conventionally, indirect calorimetry has been used to estimate oxygen consumption in an effort to accurately measure human body energy expenditure. However, calorimetry requires the subject to wear a mask that is neither convenient nor comfortable. The purpose of our study is to develop a patch-type sensor module with an embedded incremental radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) for esti...
