abstract. in the case of process capability index several methods are identified. in this paper ,a new process capability index using fuzzy number and fuzzy probability concept, in order to remove the weakness of other famous method is suggested. after introduction of fuzzy index in univariate case, fuzzy multivariate process capability index is investigated. finally, this new method is compare...

The Bayesian reliability estimation under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assumed to be fuzzy random variables with fuzzy prior distributions. The (conventional) Bayesian estimation method will be used to create the fuzzy Bayes point estimator of reliability by invoking the well-known theorem called ‘Resolution Iden...

To enhance the evaluation of the reliability recently featured many of the approaches linking the probability and fuzzy logic, the multi agent system can provide a connection between fuzzy logic and probability. In this article represents a new application of multi-agent model for evaluating the reliability indices of generation power system. Using agents of the probability for determining capa...

Software systems are becoming increasingly more complex and testing it to a reliable system requires a great deal of effort. Stochastically testing promises a solution to this increased testing burden and gives the opportunity to analyze reliability, mean time to failure etc. Today there is hundreds of reliability models with more models developed every year. Still, there exist no models that c...

To make the analysis more consistent and logical according to real life situations, in thispaper, the concept of trapezoidal vague set is extended by the idea of trapezoidal vaguesets of type-II. Also we have introduced: definition of trapezoidal vague set of type-IIand arithmetic operations between two trapezoidal vague sets of type-II. Further, a newmethod has been developed f...

BACKGROUND Heat stress as a physical harmful agent can increase the risk of health and safety problems in different workplaces such as mining. Although there are different indices to assess the heat stress imposed on workers, choosing the best index for a specific workplace is so important. Since various criteria affect an index applicability, extracting the most effective ones and determining ...

in this paper, the concept of k-regular fuzzy matrix as a general- ization of regular matrix is introduced and some basic properties of a k-regular fuzzy matrix are derived. this leads to the characterization of a matrix for which the regularity index and the index are identical. further the relation between regular, k-regular and regularity of powers of fuzzy matrices are dis- cussed.

Data in the real world can not be recorded or collected precisely due to human errors, machine errors, or some other unexpected situations. And reliability analysis is an important research topic in engineering. The data, however, can not be recorded precisely sometimes as described above. Then some researchers pay attention to the fuzzy reliability. In this paper, we are going to analyze the f...

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology for discussing the fuzzy. Bayesian system reliability from the fuzzy component reliabilities, actually we discuss on the Fuzzy Bayesian system reliability assessment based on Pascal distribution, because the data sometimes cannot be measured and recorded precisely. In order to apply the Bayesian approach, the fuzzy parameters are assume...
