recently, abbasbandy and asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.however, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. in this paper, wepresent a re...

this study is an investigation of fuzzy linear regression model for crisp/fuzzy input and fuzzy output data. a least absolutes deviations approach to construct such a model is developed by introducing and applying a new metric on the space of fuzzy numbers. the proposed approach, which can deal with both symmetric and non-symmetric fuzzy observations, is compared with several existing models by...

In previous studies, it is pointed out that in several situations it is better to use interval-valued fuzzy numbers instead of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. But till now, there is no method that deals with the sensitivity analysis of such linear programming problems in which all the parameters are represented by interval-valued fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new method is proposed f...

In crisp transportation, trying to fuzzify the amount of supply of the ith origin ai and the amount of demand of the jth destination bj, we use level l fuzzy numbers and level (l, r) interval-valued fuzzy numbers to fuzzify ai and bj in the constraints. We get transportation problem in the fuzzy sense. We also cooperate some statistical concepts and corresponding to (1 α) × 100% statistical con...

This paper presents an approach for fuzzy Bayesian games, based on the notion of fuzzy probabilities to estimate unknown types of agents in strategic situations. For that, we consider the notion of fuzzy probability introduced by Buckley and Eslami, who use fuzzy numbers to represent uncertain and imprecise probabilities, without, however, applying the fuzzy probability theory, but considering ...

species selection based on a new method such as a fuzzy method is one of the most important stages in the successful plantation management planning as choosing a suitable species for the site can be the key to success. this paper is based on a fuzzy extension of the technique or order preference which is similar to ideal solution (topsis) method. the purpose of this paper is to develop fuzzy to...

one-way analysis of covariance is a popular and common statisticalmethod, wherein the equality of the means of several random variables whichhave a linear relationship with a random mathematical variable, is tested. inthis study, a method is presented to improve the one-way analysis of covari-ance when there is an uncertainty in accepting the statistical hypotheses. themethod deals with a fuzzy...
