this paper presents the basic concepts of stability in fuzzy linguistic models. theauthors have proposed a criterion for bibo stability analysis of fuzzy linguistic modelsassociated to linear time invariant systems [25]-[28]. this paper presents the basic concepts ofstability in the general nonlinear and linear systems. this stability analysis method is verifiedusing a benchmark system analysis.

Stability analysis is one of the most important fields of study in the Islamic banking and finance industry. For measuring stability in Islamic banking, we introduced, for the first time, an Islamic banking stability index (IBS) during 2013 to 2016 which use all CAMEL factors and so seems to be more comprehensive than Z-score stability index which dominantly used in the existing literatures. To...

Atlases encode valuable anatomical and functional information from a population. In this work, a bi-ventricular cardiac atlas was built from a unique data set, which consists of high resolution cardiac MR images of 1000+ normal subjects. Based on the atlas, statistical methods were used to study the variation of cardiac shapes and the distribution of cardiac motion across the spatio-temporal do...

OBJECTIVES To determine the extent to which practice level scores mask variation in individual performance between doctors within a practice. DESIGN Analysis of postal survey of patients' experience of face-to-face consultations with individual general practitioners in a stratified quota sample of primary care practices. SETTING Twenty five English general practices, selected to include a r...

Abstract: We discuss a class of graphical models for discrete data defined by what we call a multivariate regression chain graph Markov property. We propose a parameterization based on a sequence of generalized linear models with a multivariate logistic link function. We show the relationship with a chain graph model recently defined in the literature, and we prove that the proposed parametriza...

BACKGROUND General practice is stressful and burnout is common among family physicians. A growing body of evidence suggests that the way physicians relate to their patients could be linked to burnout. The goal of this study was to examine how patterns of empathy explained physicians' burnout. METHODS We surveyed 294 French general practitioners (response rate 39%), measured burnout, empathic ...

improving time series forecastingaccuracy is an important yet often difficult task.both theoretical and empirical findings haveindicated that integration of several models is an effectiveway to improve predictive performance, especiallywhen the models in combination are quite different. in this paper,a model of the hybrid artificial neural networks andfuzzy model is proposed for time series for...
