Gibbs distribution is used to represent fuzzy codebooks of individual speakers. The method of fuzzy evolutionary programming is employed to create the fuzzy codebooks and also to train hidden Markov models of speakers. This method increases the chance of attaining global maxima in Baum-Welch algorithm for hidden Markov model re-estimation. The experiments show the results of speaker identificat...

In order to estimate fuzzy regression models, possibilistic and least-squares procedures can be considered. By taking into account a least-squares approach, regression models with crisp or fuzzy inputs and crisp or fuzzy output are suggested. In particular, for these fuzzy regression models, unconstrained and constrained (with inequality restrictions) least-squares estimation procedures are dev...

The problem of evaluation of agricultural land suitability is consid­ ered as a fuzzy modeling task. For assessment of land suitability, it is proposed to use fuzzy indicators. Application of individual fuzzy indicators gives oppor­ tunity for assessment of suitability of lands as degree or grade of performance when the lands are used for agricultural purposes. Using composite fuzzy indi­ cator...

Cluster validity indices have been used to evaluate the quality of fuzzy partitions. In this paper, we propose a new index, which uses concepts of Fuzzy Rough sets to evaluate the average intra-cluster similarity of fuzzy clusters produced by the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Experimental results show that contrasted with several well-known cluster validity indices, the proposed index can yield more...

Fuzzy regression model has been widely used in recent years throughout the globe. In view of this, an attempt has been made in this research paper to present the review of fuzzy regression model for better estimation and prediction. The regression analysis is statistical tool used for prediction. As we know that the regression analysis follows Gaussian assumptions, sometimes dataset is too smal...

this article proposes composition of fuzzy sets theory with discrete-event simulation and puts it into application in order to model uncertain activity duration in simulating a real-world system. the purpose of this paper is to assess the usefulness of fuzzy simulation for modeling uncertain activity duration, especially when insufficient or no sample data is available. in this research, fuzzy ...
