This study presents a new early warning evaluating method and decision mechanism for urban emergency in which the risk factors are assessed by fuzzy numbers. By using the fuzzy preference relation matrix and the extended fuzzy AHP, the relative weight of each risk factor can be estimated. Then we evaluate the total fuzzy risk value by aggregating the severity of loss of risk factor and the rela...

This paper presents the applications of hierarchical clustering to the generators in a power system. A useful application of fuzzy mathematics is that the correction of clustering results and determination of whether it can obtain correct transitive closure. Thus, the fuzzy transitive closure plays an important role in hierarchical clustering. Based on the fuzzy relation matrix, the hierarchica...

in this paper, we present a revised similarity measure based onchen-and-chen's similarity measure for fuzzy risk analysis. the revisedsimilarity measure uses the corrected formulae to calculate the centre ofgravity points, therefore it is more  effective than the chen-and-chen'smethod. the revised similarity measure can overcome the drawbacks of theexisting methods. we have also proposed a new ...

In this paper we develop a measure for calculating the association coe±cient between Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs), and show its desirable axiomatic properties. Then we present an algorithm for clustering A-IFSs. The algorithm ̄rst utilizes the association coe±cient of A-IFSs to construct an association matrix, and then calculates the -cutting matrix of the association matrix no...

The quotient space theory based on fuzzy tolerance relation is put forward to solve the problem of clustering in this paper. The similarity matrix does not always satisfy ultrametric inequality, theoretically and practically. We give the method to construct the hierarchical quotient space chain if the similarity matrix is only reflexive and symmetric. We consider not only the subset of data (cl...

Performance evaluation of a bridge is critical for determining the optimal maintenance strategy. An unsupervised bridge superstructure state assessment method is proposed in this paper based on fuzzy clustering and bridge field measured data. Firstly, the evaluation index system of bridge is constructed. Secondly, a certain number of bridge health monitoring data are selected as clustering samp...

Multiple attribute decision making problems with uncertain weights in intuitionistic fuzzy setting are investigated. Some concepts related to the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), including intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator, score function, and accuracy function, are reviewed. Based on the technology for order preference by similarity to idea solution (TOPSIS) meth...

Representing and consequently processing fuzzy data in standard and binary databases is problematic. The problem is further amplified in binary databases where continuous data is represented by means of discrete ‘1’ and ‘0’ bits. As regards classification, the problem becomes even more acute. In these cases, we may want to group objects based on some fuzzy attributes, but unfortunately, an appr...

Cloud computing are Internet-based services to increase the use and delivery models, usually involving the Internet to provide easy to dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources. To solve these problems, the proposed web data mining method based on cloud computing: the massive data mining tasks decomposed into parallel processing on multiple servers. Web fuzzy clustering of objects is...
