Using fuzzy numbers and OWA operators in the weighted average and its application in decision making
Se presenta un nuevo método para tratar situaciones de incertidumbre en los que se utiliza el operador OWAWA (media ponderada – media ponderada ordenada). A este operador se le denomina operador OWAWA borroso (FOWAWA). Su principal ventaja se encuentra en la posibilidad de representar la información incierta del problema mediante el uso de números borrosos los cuales permiten una mejor representación de la información ya que consideran el mínimo y el máximo resultado posible y la posibilidad de ocurrencia de los valores internos. Se estudian diferentes propiedades y casos particulares de este nuevo modelo. También se analiza la aplicabilidad de este operador y se desarrolla un ejemplo numérico sobre toma de decisiones en la selección de políticas fiscalesWe present a new approach for dealing with an uncertain environment when using the ordered weighted averaging – weighted averaging (OWAWA) operator. We call it the fuzzy OWAWA (FOWAWA) operator. The main advantage of this new aggregation operator is that it is able to represent the uncertain information with fuzzy numbers. Thus, we are able to give more complete information because we can consider the maximum and the minimum of the problem and the internal information between these two results. We study different properties and different particular cases of this approach. We also analyze the applicability of the new model and we develop a numerical example in a decision making problem about selection of fiscal policies
Solving P - Norm Intuitionistic Fuzzy Programming Problem
In this paper, notion of p - norm generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic
fuzzy numbers is introduced. A new ranking method is introduced for p - norm
generalized trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Also we consider linear
programming problem in intuitionistic fuzzy environment. In this problem, all
the coefficients and variables are represented by p - norm generalized
trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. To overcome the limitations of the
existing methods, a new method is proposed to compute the intuitionistic fuzzy
optimal solution for intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem. An
illustrative numerical example is solved to demonstrate the efficiency of the
proposed approach.Comment: some erro
Possibilistic and fuzzy clustering methods for robust analysis of non-precise data
This work focuses on robust clustering of data affected by imprecision. The imprecision is managed in terms of fuzzy sets. The clustering process is based on the fuzzy and possibilistic approaches. In both approaches the observations are assigned to the clusters by means of membership degrees. In fuzzy clustering the membership degrees express the degrees of sharing of the observations to the clusters. In contrast, in possibilistic clustering the membership degrees are degrees of typicality. These two sources of information are complementary because the former helps to discover the best fuzzy partition of the observations while the latter reflects how well the observations are described by the centroids and, therefore, is helpful to identify outliers. First, a fully possibilistic k-means clustering procedure is suggested. Then, in order to exploit the benefits of both the approaches, a joint possibilistic and fuzzy clustering method for fuzzy data is proposed. A selection procedure for choosing the parameters of the new clustering method is introduced. The effectiveness of the proposal is investigated by means of simulated and
real-life data
