I. Statistics This part begins with elementary descriptive statistics and elements of probability.
It continues with a chapter on inferential statistics, including regression, correlation and …

In the two decades since its inception by L. Zadeh, the theory of fuzzy sets has matured into
a wide-ranging collection of concepts, models, and tech niques for dealing with complex …

The term “fuzzy sets” has been introduced to describe, in precise mathematical terms, the
ambiguities and uncertainties inherent in many real-world pattern recognition and …

Using a fuzzy-logic-based calculus of linguistically quantified propositions, a new database
querying system is proposed for handling such imprecise queries as" find all records in …

We present an “add-on” to Microsoft Access, one of new Microsoft Windows based popular
DBMSs, which makes possible the use of queries that allow for a more intelligent and …

The aim of data base management system designers is to provide the user with the ability to
store data that can be used in deriving information satisfying the user's information needs …

Several authors have suggested the introduction of fuzzy set methodologies as a means for
improving the performance of information-retrieval systems [1-8]. In a recent survey [9] of …

Substantial work has been done on the application of fuzzy subset theory to information
retrieval. Boolean query processing has been generalized to allow for weights to be …

Using a fuzzy-logic-based calculus of linguistically quantified propositions we present
FQUERY III+, a new, more “human-friendly” and easier-to-use implementation of a querying …

This paper reviews some applications of fuzzy set theory to model flexible information
retrieval systems, ie, systems that can represent and interpret the vagueness typical of …
