We propose an exploratory data analysis approach when data are observed as intervals in a nonparametric regression setting. The interval-valued data contain richer information than single-valued data in the sense that they provide both center and range information of the underlying structure. Conventionally, these two attributes have been studied separately as traditional tools can be readily u...

In this note the notion of interval-valued fuzzy BF -algebras (briefly, i-v fuzzy BF -algebras), the level and strong level BF -subalgebra is introduced. Then we state and prove some theorems which determine the relationship between these notions and BF -subalgebras. The images and inverse images of i-v fuzzy BF -subalgebras are defined, and how the homomorphic images and inverse images of i-v ...

For a fixed finite universe U = {u1, . . . , un}, a fuzzy subset F of U is given by its membership function F : U → [0, 1] (we will not distinguish fuzzy subsets and the corresponding membership functions notations). For several practical purposes, especially in multicriteria decision making, the expected value E(F ) of F should be introduced. The original Zadeh approach in [11] was based on a ...

Concepts of graph theory have applications in many areas of computer science including data mining, image segmentation, clustering, image capturing, networks, etc . An interval-valued fuzzy set is a generalization of the notion of a fuzzy set. Interval-valued fuzzy models give more precision, flexibility and compatibility to the system as compared to the fuzzy models. In this paper, we introduc...

We study some properties of interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroups of a group. In particular, we obtain two characterizations of interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroups. Moreover, we introduce the concept of an interval-valued fuzzy coset and obtain several results which are analogous of some basic theorems of group theory.

In Dempster Shafer (DS) Theory, basic probability assignment plays a key role. All other measures can be defined in the terms of BPA. This assignment, as originally defined, can take only one value in the interval [0,1]. However in actual practice the BPA is usually provided by experts subjectivity. Experts cannot precisely give the value. We have to assign a number on their linguistic expressi...

olds ( α̃, β̃ ) and interval valued fuzzy generalized bi-ideals with thresholds ( α̃, β̃ ) , which are generalization of interval valued fuzzy ideals, interval valued fuzzy interior ideals, interval valued fuzzy quasi ideals and interval valued fuzzy generalized bi-ideals, in a semigroup are introduced, and related properties are investigated. Characterizations of regular semigroups by the properti...
