چکیده

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the current state of fuzzy logic theory in epidemiology, which is a recent area of research. We present four applications of fuzzy logic theory in epidemic problems, using linguistic fuzzy models, possibility measure, probability of fuzzy events and fuzzy decision making techniques. The results demonstrate that the applications of fuzzy sets in epidemiology is a very promising area of research. The final discussion sets the future stage of fuzzy sets application in epidemiology.

Application of Fuzzy Logic in CA/LGCA Models As a Way of Dealing With Imprecise and Vague Data

In this paper we discuss how to address qualitative aspects and problems of imprecise and vague data in modelling dynamics of spread of epidemics. As a possible solution we propose superposition of Fuzzy Logic with Lattice Gas

Why Fuzzy Transform Is Efficient in Large-Scale Prediction Problems: A Theoretical Explanation

In many practical situations like weather prediction, we are interested in large-scale (averaged) value of the predicted quantities. For example, it is impossible to predict the exact future temperature at different spatial locations, but we can reasonably well predict average temperature over a region. Traditionally, to obtain such large-scale predictions, we first perform a detailed integrati...

Incorporating Fuzziness in Spatial Susceptible-Infected Epidemic Models

In this paper we propose a coupled-map lattice for modelling epidemic spread in a fuzzy setting. The presented model complies with the need for adequate modelling tools to describe and/or predict spatio-temporal phenomena, following the growing availability of spatio-temporal data. Furthermore, our approach does not rely on partial differential equations making it particularly suited to model e...
