the present article investigates the application of high order tsk (takagi sugeno kang) fuzzy systems in modeling photo voltaic (pv) cell characteristics. a method has been introduced for training second order tsk fuzzy systems using anfis (artificial neural fuzzy inference system) training method. it is clear that higher order tsk fuzzy systems are more precise approximators while they cover n...

Textures are replications, symmetries and combinations of various basic patterns, usually with some random variation one of the gray-level statistics. This article proposes a new approach to Segment texture images. The proposed approach proceeds in 2 stages. First, in this method, local texture information of a pixel is obtained by fuzzy texture unit and global texture information of an image i...

General aspects of modeling as an engineering tool are presented in this work. The usefulness of Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Inference Systems (TS FIS) as modeling technique are emphasized. Additionally, various modifications of known methodology for identifying such a models and rules configuration are proposed. Finally, two application examples are presented. The first one is a modeling of the Box an...

Rule systems have failed to attract much interest in large data analysis problems because they tend to be too simplistic to be useful or consist of too many rules for human interpretation. We present a method that constructs a hierarchical rule system, with only a small number of rules at each stage of the hierarchy. Lower levels in this hierarchy focus on outliers or areas of the feature space...

Measuring uncertainty for fuzzy sets has been carried out by calculating fuzzy entropy. Fuzzy entropy of fuzzy set is derived with the help of distance measure. The distance proportional value between the fuzzy set and the corresponding crisp set is designed as the fuzzy entropy. The usefulness is verified by proving the proposed entropy. Generally, fuzzy entropy contains the complementary char...

According to the current literature, there are two different approaches to the definition of the variance of a fuzzy random variable. In the first one, the variance is defined as a fuzzy interval, offering a gradual description of our incomplete knowledge about the variance of an underlying, imprecisely observed, classical random variable. In the second case, the variance of the fuzzy random va...

This paper proposed an integrated algorithm of neuro-fuzzy techniques to examine the complex impact of socio-technical influencing factors on road fatalities. The proposed algorithm could handle complexity, non-linearity and fuzziness in the modeling environment due to its mechanism. The Neuro-fuzzy algorithm for determination of the potential influencing factors on road fatalities consisted of...

An orthogonal approach to the fuzzification of both multisets and hybrid sets is presented. In particular, we introduce L-multi-fuzzy and L-fuzzy hybrid sets, which are general enough and in spirit with the basic concepts of fuzzy set theory. In addition, we study the properties of these structures. Also, the usefulness of these structures is examined in the framework of mechanical multiset pro...

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a new 3D imaging technique, which overcomes some limitations of traditional digital mammography. Its development induces an increased amount of data to be processed, thus calling for a computer aided detection system to help the radiologist. Towards this aim, this paper focuses on the detection of masses and architectural distortions in DBT images. A comple...
