Fuzzification of support vector machine has been utilized to deal with outlier and noise problem. This importance is achieved, by the means of fuzzy membership function, which is generally built based on the distance of the points to the class centroid. The focus of this research is twofold. Firstly, by taking the advantage of robust statistics in the fuzzy SVM, more emphasis on reducing the im...

In this paper, the texture feature ”coarseness” is modelled by means of a fuzzy partition on the domain of coarseness measures. The number of linguistic labels to be used, and the parameters of the membership functions associated to each fuzzy set are calculated relating representative coarseness measures (our reference set) with the human perception of this texture property. A wide variety of ...

The current research is devoted to developing methods of a novel mathematical interpretation of term-sets of linguistic variables. To the term-sets of the linguistic variables fuzzy sets are assigned. We intend to adopt the sfunctions and the π-functions to derive formulas of membership functions of these sets. The fuzzy sets are divided in three families in the case of an odd number of the ter...

In this paper we continue to investigate the important parameter of global warming a heat wave that has no unique definition and represents the constellation of different factors such as e.g., heat index (temperature + humidity), time periods of excessive heat, etc. We find typical characteristics of heat indexes during different time periods, using most typical fuzzy expected values. Trapezoid...

In principle, we can have many different membership functions. Interestingly, however, in many practical applications, triangular and trapezoidal membership functions are the most efficient ones. In this paper, we use fuzzy approach to explain this empirical phenomenon.

in this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an au- tonomous underwater vehicle (auv) are addressed. yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. the discussed auv has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. two rule bases...

In this paper, we incorporate the concept of fuzzy set theory into the support vector regression (SVR). In our proposed method, target outputs of training samples are considered to be fuzzy numbers and then, membership function of actual output (objective hyperplane in high dimensional feature space) is obtained. Two main properties of our proposed method are: (1) membership function of actual ...

In this paper, we present a new approach to the design of a fuzzy expressions processor with semantic modifiers and operators. We make use of this approach to define fuzzy operations like “greater than”, “less than” and “between”. These expressions are formalized by means of membership functions. The formalization of the method is discussed, and some examples of its use are presented and justif...
