The generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) method produces a class of estimators of parameters defined via general estimating equations. This class includes several important estimators, such as empirical likelihood (EL), exponential tilting (ET), and continuous updating estimators (CUE). We examine the information geometric structure of GEL estimators. We introduce a class of estimators closel...

anti-lock braking system (abs) is a nonlinear and time varying system including uncertainty, so it cannot be controlled by classic methods. intelligent methods such as fuzzy controller are used in this area extensively; however traditional fuzzy controller using simple type-1 fuzzy sets may not be robust enough to overcome uncertainties. for this reason an interval type-2 fuzzy controller is de...

different industrial decision makers and managers in our country, try to select and organize locations for aggregating industrial units, estates and areas with respect to land use planning visions and industrial development strategies. in this regard, considering large quantity of the input data and diverse criteria affecting this application, it is complicated and difficult to optimally make d...

Since the T-S fuzzy system can approximate any nonlinear system with arbitrary accuracy, it is also expected to be a suitable approach to observe the states of a stochastic nonlinear system. Up to date, a few state estimators for stochastic T-S fuzzy systems have been proposed and applied to various fields without rigorous proof. In this paper, we first derive a sufficient condition based on th...
