Fuzzy versus probabilistic benefit/cost ratio analysis for public work projects

Cengiz Kahraman (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The benefit/cost (B/C) ratio method is utilized in many government and public work projects to determine if the expected benefits provide an acceptable return on the estimated investment and costs. Many authors have studied probabilis- tic cash flows in recent years. They introduced some analytical methods which determine the probability distribution function of the net present value and in- ternal rate of return of a series of random discrete cash flows. They considered serially correlated...

A Linguistic Fuzzy Approach to the Consensus Reaching in Multiple Criteria Group Decision-making Problems

Vojtěch Sukač, Jana Talašová, Jan Stoklasa (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

The paper introduces a new method of reaching a consensus in multiple criteria group decision-making under fuzziness. This model is based on the general definition of the ‘soft’ consensus introduced by Kacprzyk and Fedrizzi in 1986. The fuzzy evaluations of alternatives express degrees of fulfillment of the given goals by the respective alternatives for each expert. The selection of the best alternative is based on the fuzzy consensus by experts. For this purpose a set of alternatives...

A fuzzy logic approach to assembly line balancing.

Daniel J. Fonseca, C. L. Guest, Matthew Elam, Charles L. Karr (2005)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

This paper deals with the use of fuzzy set theory as a viable alternative method for modelling and solving the stochastic assembly line balancing problem. Variability and uncertainty in the assembly line balancing problem has traditionally been modelled through the use of statistical distributions. This may not be feasible in cases where no historical data exists. Fuzzy set theory allows for the consideration of the ambiguity involved in assigning processing and cycle times and the uncertainty...

Interpretability of linguistic variables: a formal account

Ulrich Bodenhofer, Peter Bauer (2005)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This contribution is concerned with the interpretability of fuzzy rule-based systems. While this property is widely considered to be a crucial one in fuzzy rule-based modeling, a more detailed formal investigation of what “interpretability” actually means is not available. So far, interpretability has most often been associated with rather heuristic assumptions about shape and mutual overlapping of fuzzy membership functions. In this paper, we attempt to approach this problem from a...
