Fuzzy Sets, Decision Making, and Expert Systems

“…For further details the reader is refered to Zimmermann [1985b]. The notions and definitions beyond basic fuzzy set theory that are needed in this volume will be explained in the following chapters whenever they are needed.…”

“…Baldwin and Pilsworth argue that for political decision making, economic planning, ... domestic and other human problem solving, the state mappings from stage to stage [i.e., the state transformations] will only be known in an imprecise manner. 47-52], and Zimmermann [1985b] for further details. Nevertheless human intelligence is limited to relatively simple chains of argument and often the analysis of complex multi-stage decision problems is over simplified.…”

“…In the first section of chapter 1 we made some remarks concerning the relationship between formal theories, factual theories, and technologies [see also Zimmermann 1980]. So far hardly any formal axiomatic justification for specific kinds of membership functions has been offered.…”

“…Definition 7.5 [see Dubois, Prade 1982, 1985bPrade 1985;Goodman, Nguyen 1985,p.32] Let X be a finite set equipped with a probability measure Pr defined on the set P(X) of subsets of X. Consider a point-to-set mapping r from X to some set S. That is, V x E X, r(x) is a subset of S. Let f s S (f = focal element) and the mapping m from P(S) to [0,1] (basic probability assignment) be defined as follows: which may lead to some problems [see Zadeh 1984, pp.…”

A vivência da gravidez do primeiro filho à luz da perspectiva paterna

“…Esses aspectos corroboram os achados da literatura sobre o aumento do estresse e da ansiedade e a freqüente diminuição da satisfação com a vida de casal como fatores freqüentemente presentes durante o período gestacional e, no entanto, nem sempre abordados (Pacey, 2004;Rodriguez, 2004;Zimmermann, Zimmermann, Zimmermann, Tatsch, & Santos, 2001). Sendo assim, essas transformações demandam alterações significativas dos papéis familiares, assim como reorganizações dentro da estrutura desta família que está se modificando (Johnson, 2005;Musito, 2001).…”
