چکیده

Although there has been a movement toward the use of multiple sources of knowledge for expert systems development, there are no formal methods to guide knowledge engineers in integrating these sources. Further approaches for dealing with problems of inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and imcompleteness are not widely discussed in literature. This paper discusses a formal method for documenting, integrating and normalizing knowledge-bases derived from different knowledge sources. A case study is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Multiple Fuzzy Regression Model for Fuzzy Input-Output Data

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,...

Analysing Price, Quality and Lead Time Decisions with the Hybrid Solution Method of Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, the problem of determining the quality level, lead time for order delivery and price of a product produced by a manufacturer is considered. In this problem the demand for the product is influenced by all three decision variables: price, lead time and quality level. To formulate the demand function, a fuzzy rule base that estimates the demand value based on the three decision vari...

Designing a model of intuitionistic fuzzy VIKOR in multi-attribute group decision-making problems

Multiple attributes group decision making (MAGDM) is regarded as the process of determining the best feasible solution by a group of experts or decision makers according to the attributes that represent different effects. In assessing the performance of each alternative with respect to each attribute and the relative importance of the selected attributes, quantitative/qualitative evaluations ar...

Selection of Variables that Influence Drug Injection in Prison: Comparison of Methods with Multiple Imputed Data Sets

Background: Prisoners, compared to the general population, are at greater risk of infection. Drug injection is the main route of HIV transmission, in particular in Iran. What would be of interest is to determine variables that govern drug injection among prisoners. However, one of the issues that challenge model building is incomplete national data sets. In this paper, we addressed the process ...
