in this paper, we consider the production possibility set with n production units such that the following four principles that governs: inclusion observations, conceivability, immensity and convexity. our goal is to estimate the output of a same and new production unit with existing production possibility and amount of input is specified. so, initially we find the interval changes of each input...

It is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. Contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. Some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. Depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

many ranking methods have been proposed so far. however, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. for overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

The first step in the coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) atmospheric-correction algorithm is the computation of the Rayleigh-scattering contribution, Lr(r), to the radiance leaving the top of the atmosphere over the ocean. In the present algorithm Lr(r), is computed by assuming that the ocean surface is flat. Computations of the radiance leaving a Rayleigh-scattering atmosphere overlying a rough...

a weighted linear regression model with impercise response and p-real explanatory variables is analyzed. the lr fuzzy random variable is introduced and a metric is suggested for coping with this kind of variables. a least square solution for estimating the parameters of the model is derived. the result are illustrated by the means of some case studies.

This paper is concerned with the design of an Incremental Radial Basis Function Network (IRBFN) by combining Linear Regression (LR) and local RBFN for the prediction of heating load and cooling load in residential buildings. Here the proposed IRBFN is designed by building a collection of information granules through Context-based Fuzzy C-Means (CFCM) clustering algorithm that is guided by the d...
