Hydroinformatics combines topics of modelling and decision-making, both of which have attracted a great deal of attention outside hydroinformatics from the point of view of uncertainty. Epistemic uncertainties are due to the inevitably incomplete evidence about the dependability of a model or set of competing models. Inherent uncertainties are due to the varying information content inherent in ...

This paper presents a method based on fuzzy regression to analyze fatigue crack growth data, where the variations of the parameters are not only due to measurement errors but also system errors. A membership function is used to describe the system errors. Crack growth data under constant and random amplitude stress are analyzed and the results are compared with conventional least-squares regres...

We develop a kind of pregeometry consisting of a web of overlapping fuzzy lumps which interact with each other. The individual lumps are understood as certain closely entangled subgraphs (cliques) in a dynamically evolving network which, in a certain approximation, can be visualized as a time-dependent random graph. This strand of ideas is merged with another one, deriving from ideas, developed...

A fuzzy random model of Combined Location Routing and Inventory Problem (CLRIP) has been presented with continuous review inventory policy in B2C distribution environment for the first time. Demands of customers and distribution centers are uncertain and have been assumed to be fuzzy random variables. To solve the model, first the expected value of fuzzy random variable and the possibilistic me...

This communication is concerned with the problem of supervised classification of fuzzy data obtained from a random experiment. The data generation process is modelled through fuzzy random variables which, from a formal point of view, can be identified with a kind of functional random element. We propose to adapt one of the most versatile discriminant approaches in the context of functional data...

The environment of loan in bank is very complex, there are not only random factors but also fuzzy factors, so the return rates of loan often have fuzzy random characteristic. Mean chance is a measure of fuzzy random variable. This paper proposes two fuzzy random dependentchance programming models of loan portfolio, one is minimize the mean chance of a bad outcome under the certain expected retu...

In this paper we study how to make joint extensions of stochastic orderings and interval orderings so as to extend methods for comparing random variables, from the point of view of their respective location or magnitude, to fuzzy random variables. The main idea is that the way fuzzy random variables are interpreted affects the choice of the comparison methods. We distinguish three views of fuzz...

This paper considers multiobjective linear programming problems (MOLPP) where random fuzzy variables are contained in objective functions and constraints. A new decision making model optimizing possibilistic value at risk (pVaR) is proposed by incorporating the concept of value at risk (VaR) into possibility theory. It is shown that the original MOLPPs involving random fuzzy variables are trans...

The purpose of this paper is to describe an adaptive fuzzy cognitive map based on the random neural network model. The adaptive fuzzy cognitive map changes its fuzzy causal web as causal patterns change and as experts update their causal knowledge. We show how the adaptive random fuzzy cognitive map can reveal implications of models composed of dynamic processes.

generalized geraghty type fuzzy mappings oncomplete metric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem thatgeneralizes some recent comparable results for fuzzy mappings incontemporary literature is obtained. example is provided to show thevalidity of obtained results over comparable classical results for fuzzymappings in fixed point theory. as an application, existence of coincidencefuzzy p...
