Reinforcement Learning: A Brief Overview
Learning techniques can be usefully grouped by the type of feedback that is available to the learner. A commonly drawn distinction is that between... -
Applications of Fuzzy Logic in Mobile Robots Control
Fuzzy logic is a mathematical tool that can manipulate human reasoning, concepts and linguistic terms. It suits ill-defined systems since it can... -
Set-valued Data
Since fuzzy sets are generalizations of ordinary sets, we present in this Chapter the essentials of random set theory for statistics. This material... -
Tests of Hypothesis: Means
In many expositions of fuzzy methods, fuzzy techniques are described as an alternative to a more traditional statistical approach. In this chapter,... -
Fuzzy Time Series Analysis and Forecasting
The problem of system modeling and identification has attracted considerable attention during the past decades mostly because of a large number of... -
Fuzzy Statistical Analysis and Estimation
In social science research, many decisions, evaluations, or purposes of evaluations are done by surveys or questionnaires to seek for people’s... -
The Mathematics of Learning: Dealing with Data *
