We consider a multiple-rule, generalized modus ponens inference scheme, with an interpretation based on compositional rule of inference (CRI) and a residuated implication. We show that such a system is equivalent, as far as CRI is concerned, to a system that satis5es the “basic requirement for fuzzy reasoning”, proposed by Turksen and Tian (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 58 (1993) 3–40). We establish a...

Value sets (VSs) used in electronic clinical quality measures are lists of codes from standard terminologies ("extensional" VSs), whose purpose ("intension") is not always explicitly stated. We elicited the intension for the 09/01/2014 release of extensional medication value sets by comparison to drug classes from the October 2014 release of RxClass. Value sets matched drug classes if they shar...

In this paper, a new definition of fuzzy bounded sets and totallyfuzzy bounded sets is introduced and properties of such sets are studied. Thena relation between totally fuzzy bounded sets and N-compactness is discussed.Finally, a geometric characterization for fuzzy totally bounded sets in I- topologicalvector spaces is derived.

Recently, Carlsson and Fuller [C. Carlsson, R. Fuller, On possibilistic mean value and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 122 (2001) 315–326] have introduced possibilistic mean, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers and Fuller and Majlender [R. Fuller, P. Majlender, On weighted possibilistic mean and variance of fuzzy numbers, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136 (2003) 363–374] have in...

in this paper, rstly we have introduced to entropy of sequences of fuzzy sets and given sometheorems about it. secondly, the waves p and t which appears in electrocardiograms weretransferred to fuzzy sets, by using denition of entropy for sequences of fuzzy sets, and somenumerical values were obtained for sequences of waves p and t. thus any person can makea medical predictions for some cardiac...

Consider sets X and Y each with associated membership functions. Further suppose that there is a map f : X → Y . A membership may be induced onY from the membership ofX calculated using the extension principle, and the two memberships on Y may be combined to give an overall membership. The point with the highest membership in X can be determined directly or by back mapping the value with the hi...

Using mid-infrared and radio criteria, we select a sample of candidate z ∼ 2 obscured quasars. Optical spectroscopy confirms about half of these as type-2 quasars, and modelling the population suggests 50-80% of the quasars are obscured. We find some flat radio spectrum type-2 quasars, and tentative evidence for obscuration unrelated to the torus. Using a similar sample, we also find evidence f...

The concepts of fuzzy e-open sets and fuzzy e-continuous are introduced and studied in fuzzifying topology and by making use of these concepts, we introduce and study T e 0 -, R e 0-, T e 1 -, R e 1-, T e 2 -, T e 3 -, T e 4 -, strong T e 3 and strong T e 4 separation axioms in fuzzifying topology and give some of their characterizations as well as the relations of these axioms and other separa...
