Modeling Uncertainty with Fuzzy Logic : With Recent Theory and Applications

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The world we live in is pervaded with uncertainty and imprecision. Is it likely to rain this afternoon Should I take an umbrella with me Will I be able to find parking near the campus Should I go by bus Such simple questions are a c- mon occurrence in our daily lives. Less simple examples: What is the probability that the price of oil will rise sharply in the near future Should I buy Chevron stock What are the chances that a bailout of GM, Ford and Chrysler will not s- ceed What will be the consequences Note that the examples in question involve both uncertainty and imprecision. In the real world, this is the norm rather than exception. There is a deep-seated tradition in science of employing probability theory, and only probability theory, to deal with uncertainty and imprecision. The mon- oly of probability theory came to an end when fuzzy logic made its debut. H- ever, this is by no means a widely accepted view. The belief persists, especially within the probability community, that probability theory is all that is needed to deal with uncertainty. To quote a prominent Bayesian, Professor Dennis Lindley, The only satisfactory description of uncertainty is probability. Artikel-Nr. 9783540899235
