Multiple Model Estimation for Nonlinear Classification
This chapter describes a new method for nonlinear classification using a collection of several simple (linear) classifiers. The approach is based on... -
Introduction
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are powerful search techniques based on principles of evolution. They are now widely applied to solve problems in many... -
Linkage Learning Genetic Algorithm
In order to handle linkage evolution and to tackle the ordering problem, Harik [47] took Holland’s call [53] for the evolution of tight linkage quite... -
Lattices of Fuzzy Subgroups
Many results concerning relationships between classes of crisp subsets can be carried over to similar relationships between classes of fuzzy subsets.... -
A Probabilistic Logic-based Framework for Characterizing Knowledge Discovery in Databases
In order to further improve the KDD process in terms of both the degree of automation achieved and types of knowledge discovered, we argue that a... -
Direct Products of Fuzzy Subgroups and Fuzzy Cyclic Subgroups
In Chapter 6, a necessary and sufficient condition for a fuzzy subgroup to be a weak direct sum of fuzzy subgroups was obtained by employing known... -

Summary and Conclusions
The first objective of this book is to explain how many systems naturally become fuzzy systems. The second objective is to show how regular (crisp)... -
Optimizing a Production Line
The simple production line considered in this chapter is shown in Fig. 20.1. This problem has been adapted from an example in [1]. This situation is... -
Simulation Programs
In this chapter we present some of the GPSS programs used in Chaps. 9–26. We had to omit many programs in order to keep this chapter. less that 20... -
Queuing II: No One-Step Calculations
In this chapter we will study the fuzzy system shown in Fig. 5.1 now reproduced as Fig. 9.1. This example was adapted from an example in [1]. The... -
Simulation
Now we come to the point were we need to select simulation software to do all the crisp simulations staring in Chap. 7. The author is not an expert... -
Cancer Classification with Microarray Data Using Support Vector Machines
Microarrays (Schena et al. 1995) are also called gene chips or DNA chips. On a microarray chip, there are thousands of spots. Each spot contains the... -
Fuzzy Caley's Theorem and Fuzzy Lagrange's Theorem
We begin our discussion with properties of normal fuzzy subgroups. Fuzzy analogs of some group theoretic concepts such as cosets, characteristic... -
A Bus Stop
We have plenty of complaints about a certain bus stop. People can not get on the bus because when it stops it is already too crowded. We could add... -
Bank Teller Problem
This is a classical problem in queuing theory: should there be multiple queues, one for each teller in a bank, or should we have one single queue for... -
Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Linkage
This chapter provides a summary of fundamental materials on genetic algorithms. It presents definitions of genetic algorithm terms and briefly...
