Paper presents role of fuzzy modeling in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and control models. HVAC design professionals are required to evaluate numerous design alternatives and properly justify their final conceptual selection through modeling. This trend, coupled with the knowledge of experienced designers, increasing complexity of the systems, unwillingness to commit addition...

One of the best ways for better understanding of biological experiments is mathematical modeling. Modeling cancer is one of the complicated biological modeling that has uncertainty. Therefore, fuzzy models have studied because of their application in achievement uncertainty in modeling. Overall, the main purpose of this modeling is creating a new view of complex phenomena. In this paper, fuzzy ...

Abstract Structure identification is one of the most significant steps in Fuzzy modeling of a complex system. Efficient structure identification requires good approximation of the effective input data. Misclassification of effective input data can highly degrade the efficiency of the inference of the fuzzy model. In this paper we present a modification to Sugeno-Yasukawa modeler to improve stru...

The purpose of this study is to apply an integrated algorithm for knowledge structure analysis. The integrated algorithm includes Item Response Theory (IRT) and Fuzzy Structural Modeling (FSM). The authors use the psychometric model IRT for calculation the ability of task-takers. Based on original response data and item-concept matrix, the individualized fuzzy subordinate matrix is acquired. FS...

This work focuses on adapting artificial intelligence techniques for urban growth modeling using multitemporal imagery. Fuzzy set theory and cellular automata are used for this purpose. Fuzzy set theory preserves the spatial continuity of the growth process through allowing a test pixel to be partially developed unlike the binary crisp system (developed/undeveloped). The development level ident...

Several scientific forecasting models for presidential elections have been suggested. However, most of these models are based on traditional statistics approaches. Since the system is linguistic, vague, and dynamic in nature, the traditional rigorous mathematical approaches are inappropriate for the modeling of this kind of humanistic system. This paper presents a combined neural fuzzy approach...

Abstract— The dynamic behavior of power systems is affected by the interactions between linear and nonlinear components. To analyze those complicated power systems, the linear approaches have been widely used so far. Especially, a synchronous generator has been designed by using linear models and traditional techniques. However, due to its wide operating range, complex dynamics, transient perfo...

This paper describes a neuro-fuzzy modeling framework for predicting the properties of ashes originated from combustion processes for electric generation. The prediction problem is tackled by means of a neuro-fuzzy system in which a neural network and a fuzzy system are combined in a fused architecture, so that the structure and the parameters of the fuzzy rule base are determined via a two-pha...

This paper presents an explanation of a fuzzy model considering the correlation among components of input data. Generally, fuzzy models have a capability of dividing an input space into several subspaces compared to a linear model. But hitherto suggested fuzzy modeling algorithms have not taken into consideration the correlation among components of sample data and have addressed them independen...

A central aim of educational research in the area of mathematical modeling and applications is to recognize the attainment level of students at defined states of the modeling process. In this paper, we introduce principles of fuzzy sets theory and possibility theory to describe the process of mathematical modeling in the classroom. The main stages of the modeling process are represented as fuzz...
