The empirical Bayes estimators of treatment effects in a factorial experiment were derived and their asymptotic properties were explored. It was shown that they were asymptotically optimal and the estimator of the scale parameter had a limiting gamma distribution while the estimators of the factor effects had a limiting multivariate normal distribution. A Bootstrap analysis was performed to ill...

In this paper we consider the use of fuzzy estimators –a new and promising approach of estimating the parameters of a probability distribution from statistical samples– to represent mathematical knowledge in expert systems. A class of fuzzy estimators suitable for fuzzy arithmetics generalizes the existing approaches and it is used to derive the fuzzy estimators for the parameters of the normal...

This paper describes the robust performance of fuzzy supervisory control (FSC) approach for the seismic response control of cable-stayed bridges. FSC is a hybrid control method with the hierarchical structure of several sub-controllers and fuzzy supervisor. Each sub-controller is preliminarily designed to reduce the selected response of the structure only, and a fuzzy supervisor is introduced t...

A fundamental procedure appearing within such clustering methods as k-Means, Expectation Maximization, Fuzzy-C-Means and Minimum Message Length is that of computing estimators of location. Most estimators of location exhibiting useful robustness properties require at least quadratic time to compute, far too slow for large data mining applications. In this paper, we propose O(Dn p n)-time random...

tthe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. this paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. as a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple gaussian radial-basis-function network as an uncertainty estimator. the proposed netw...

A financial decision supporting system based on the fuzzy candlestick pattern is proposed and developed. We model Japanese candlestick patterns by using fuzzy linguistic variables. Japanese candlestick theory is an empirical model of investment decision. The theory assumes that the trend of financial time series could be predicted by identifying specific candlestick patterns in the candlestick ...

Different industrial decision makers and managers in our country, try to select and organize locations for aggregating industrial units, estates and areas with respect to land use planning visions and industrial development strategies. In this regard, considering large quantity of the input data and diverse criteria affecting this application, it is complicated and difficult to optimally make d...

A new approach for pole placement of nonlinear systems using state feedback and fuzzy system is proposed. We use a new online fuzzy training method to identify and to obtain a fuzzy model for the unknown nonlinear system using only the system input and output. Then, we linearized this identified model at each sampling time to have an approximate linear time varying system. In order to stabilize...

This paper expresses the prominent futures of fuzzy expert system by applying the algorithm T Fuzzy Assessment Methodology. Fuzzy expert system consists of the following elements such as fuzzification interface, T Fuzzy Assessment Methodology, and defuzzification. T Fuzzy Assessment Methodology uses the K Ratio to find overlapping between membership function and T Fuzzy similarity measure the s...
