چکیده

The Goodman–Kruskal measure, which is a well-known measure of dependence for contingency tables, is generalized to the case when the variables of interest are categorized by linguistic terms rather than crisp sets. In addition, to test the hypothesis of independence in such contingency tables, a novel method of decision making is developed based on a concept of fuzzy p-value. The applicability of the proposed approach is explained using a numerical example.

Partial Association Components in Multi-way Contingency Tables and Their Statistiical Analysis

In analyses of contingency tables made up of categorical variables, the study of relationship between the variables is usually the major objective. So far, many association measures and association models have been used to measure  the association structure present in the table. Although the association measures merely determine the degree of strength of association between the study varia...

A Metric Approach to Building Decision Trees Based on Goodman-Kruskal Association Index

We introduce a numerical measure on sets of partitions of finite sets that is linked to the Goodman-Kruskal association index commonly used in statistics. This measure allows us to define a metric on such partions used for constructing decision trees. Experimental results suggest that by replacing the usual splitting criterion used in C4.5 by a metric criterion based on the Goodman-Kruskal coef...

Sources of bias in the Goodman-Kruskal gamma coefficient measure of association: implications for studies of metacognitive processes.

In many cognitive, metacognitive, and perceptual tasks, measurement of performance or prediction accuracy may be influenced by response bias. Signal detection theory provides a means of assessing discrimination accuracy independent of such bias, but its application crucially depends on distributional assumptions. The Goodman-Kruskal gamma coefficient, G, has been proposed as an alternative mean...

SHAPLEY FUNCTION BASED INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY VIKOR TECHNIQUE FOR CORRELATIVE MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING PROBLEMS

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) has developed to cope with the uncertainty of imprecise human thinking. In the present communication, new entropy and similarity measures for IVIFSs based on exponential function are presented and compared with the existing measures. Numerical results reveal that the proposed information measures attain the higher association with the existing me...

A Survey of Fuzzy Based Association Rule Mining to Find Co- Occurrence Relationships

Data mining is the analysis step of the "Knowledge Discovery in Databases" process, or KDD. It is the process that results in the discovery of new patterns in large data sets. It utilizes methods at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems. The overall goal of the data mining process is to extract knowledge from an existing data set and tra...
