Fuzzy Queries, Search, and Decision Support System

Abstract

Abstract The process of ranking (scoring) has been used to make billions of financing decisions each year serving an industry worth hundreds of billion of dollars. To a lesser extent, ranking has also been used to process hun-dreds of millions of applications by U.S. Universities re-sulting in over 15 million college admissions in the year 2000 for a total revenue of over $250 billion. College ad-missions are expected to reach over 17 million by the year 2010 for total revenue of over$280 billion. In this paper, we will introduce fuzzy query and fuzzy aggregation as an alternative for ranking and predicting the risk for credit scoring and university admissions, which currently utilize an imprecise and subjective process. In addition we wil
