Percentile Matching Estimation of Uncertainty DistributionJournal of Uncertainty Analysis and Applications - Tập 4 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
S Sampath, K. Anjana
This paper considers the application of method of percentile matching available in statistical theory of estimation for estimating the parameters involved in uncertainty distributions. An empirical study has been carried out to compare the performance of the proposed method with the method of moments and the method of least squares considered by Wang and Peng (J. Uncertainty Analys. Appl. 2, (2014...... hiện toàn bộ
Trapezoid fuzzy linguistic prioritized weighted average operators and their application to multiple attribute group decision-makingJournal of Uncertainty Analysis and Applications - Tập 2 - Trang 1-19 - 2014
Rajkumar Verma, Bhu Dev Sharma
The prioritized weighted average (PWA) operator was originally introduced by Yager. The prominent characteristic of the PWA operator is that it takes into account prioritization among attributes and decision makers. Motivated by the idea of PWA operator, we develop some prioritized weighted aggregation operators for aggregating trapezoid fuzzy linguistic information. The properties of the new aggr...... hiện toàn bộ
An Improvement on the Standard Linear Uncertainty Quantification Using a Least-Squares MethodJournal of Uncertainty Analysis and Applications - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
Heejin Cho, Rogelio Luck, James W. Stevens
Linear uncertainty analysis based on a first order Taylor series expansion, described in ASME PTC (Performance Test Code) 19.1 “Test Uncertainty” and the ISO Guide for the “Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement,” has been the most widely technique used both in industry and academia. A common approach in linear uncertainty analysis is to use local derivative information as a measure of the sensi...... hiện toàn bộ
A Simple but Efficient Approach for Testing Fuzzy HypothesesJournal of Uncertainty Analysis and Applications - Tập 4 - Trang 1-16 - 2016
Abbas Parchami, S. Mahmoud Taheri, Bahram Sadeghpour Gildeh, Mashaallah Mashinchi
In this paper, a new method is proposed for testing fuzzy hypotheses based on the following two generalized p-values: (1) the generalized p-value of null fuzzy hypothesis against alternative fuzzy hypothesis and (2) the generalized p-value of alternative fuzzy hypothesis against null fuzzy hypothesis. In the proposed method, each generalized p-value is formulated on the basis of Zadeh’s probabilit...... hiện toàn bộ
Robust design under mixed aleatory/epistemic uncertainties using gradients and surrogatesJournal of Uncertainty Analysis and Applications - Tập 1 - Trang 1-15 - 2013
Markus P Rumpfkeil
In this paper, mixed aleatory/epistemic uncertainties in a robust design problem are propagated via the use of box-constrained optimizations and surrogate models. The assumption is that the uncertain input parameters can be divided into a set only containing aleatory uncertainties and a set with only epistemic uncertainties. Uncertainties due to the epistemic inputs can then be propagated via a bo...... hiện toàn bộ
A Three-Layer Supply Chain EPQ Model for Price- and Stock-Dependent Stochastic Demand with Imperfect Item Under ReworkJournal of Uncertainty Analysis and Applications - Tập 4 - Trang 1-21 - 2016
Shilpi Pal, G. S. Mahapatra, G. P. Samanta
In this paper, we have developed an integrated supplier-manufacturer-retailer, joint economic lot-sizing model for the items with stochastic demand and imperfect quality. The supplier produces the item (raw material) up to certain time, which is a decision variable, and sends it to the manufacturer. Now, the manufacturer produces the item in small cycles and the production process of manufacturer ...... hiện toàn bộ
