This paper introduces a simple, systematic and effective method for designing Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems utilizing a significantly smaller training data set versus existingmethods. Creating proper training data is usually not an easy task and requires spending considerable time and resources. The proposed method first uses a three-level factorial design to partition the output space. Nex...

An experiment is a test under controlled conditions to investigate the validity of a hypothesis. Experimentation is the basis for creating new knowledge – determining whether some factor causes an effect.

The most common forensic entomological application is the estimation of some portion of the time since death, or postmortem interval (PMI). To our knowledge, a PMI estimate is almost never accompanied by an associated probability. Statistical methods are now available for calculating confidence limits for an insect-based prediction of PMI for both succession and development data. In addition to...
