In this paper we develop a fuzzy model for the description of the process of Analogical Reasoning by representing its main steps as fuzzy subsets of a set of linguistic labels characterizing the individuals’ performance in each step and we use the ShannonWiener diversity index as a measure of the individuals’ abilities in analogical problem solving. This model is compared with a stochastic mode...

The technique introduced in this paper is a new technique for analyzing fault tolerant designs under considerable uncertainty, such as seen in unique or few-of-a-kind devices in poorly known environments or pre-prototype design analyses. This technique is able to provide useful information while maintaining the uncertainty inherent in the original speci®cations. The technique introduced here is...

Markov model of multi-component machining system comprising two unreliable heterogeneous servers and mixed type of standby support has been studied. The repair job of broken down machines is done on the basis of bi-level threshold policy for the activation of the servers. The server returns back to render repair job when the pre-specified workload of failed machines is build up. The first (seco...

Despite being conceptually and algebraically straightforward, set coincidence has never received great attention within the framework of set-relational research, which has essentially focused on subset/superset relations. In this article, I advance a novel procedure called fuzzy-set coincidence analysis to systematically assess the degree of overlapping of two or multiple sets. Individual-level...

gait contains important information about the status of the human body and physiological signs. in many medical applications, it isimportant to monitor and accurately analyze the gait of the patient. since walking shows the reproducibility signs in several phases,separating these phases can be used for the gait analysis. in this study, a method based on image processing for extracting phases of...

The stock's price of China Sport Industry was studied in this paper, and the theory of Weighted Markov Chain was applied to forecast the stock's price. The main contents are as follows: Firstly, based on the historical data of China Sport Industry’ stock, Spss software was used to conduct fuzzy clustering analysis, and the known data was divided into six categories. Secondly, For the applicatio...

The process of human segmentation and labelling of speech can be seen as a two-step process. In the first step humans listen to a speech signal, recognize the word and phoneme sequence, and roughly determine the position of each phonetic boundary. In the second step humans examine several speech signal features (waveform, energy, spectrogram, etc.) to place a phonetic boundary time mark where t...

In this article we present a novel approach to model visual comfort based on supervised statebased machine learning with Hidden Markov Models and one easy-to-obtain variable (illuminance measurements at the horizontal work-plane; Edesk). Data mining was performed on sensor data recorded for two years in a single-occupant office room and the developed model classifies workplane illuminances into...

The increasing demand of World Wide Web raises the need of predicting the user’s web page request. The most widely used approach to predict the web pages is the pattern discovery process of Web usage mining. This process involves inevitability of many techniques like Markov model, association rules and clustering. Fuzzy theory with different techniques has been introduced for the better results...

Markov Chain Model provides a concise mathematical model to describe the online English auction process, converting the complicated interaction between the bidders and auctioneer into a tractable mathematical problem, which is a milestone for researches involved in this area. However, the assumptions about the parameters are not consistent with the actual phenomena, for example, the distributio...
