Fuzzy Probabilities: New Approach and Applications (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)
James J. Buckley

Springer, 2007

In probability and statistics we often have to estimate probabilities and parameters in probability distributions using a random sample. Instead of using a point estimate calculated from the data we propose using fuzzy numbers which are constructed from a set of confidence intervals. In probability calculations we apply constrained fuzzy ...

Simulating Fuzzy Systems (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)
James J. Buckley

Springer, 2005

Simulating Fuzzy Systems demonstrates how many systems naturally become fuzzy systems and shows how regular (crisp) simulation can be used to estimate the alpha-cuts of the fuzzy numbers used to analyze the behavior of the fuzzy system. This monograph presents a concise introduction to fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, fuzzy estimation, fuzzy ...
