Prediction of Missing Associations Using Rough Computing and Bayesian Classification

By D. P. Acharjya Debasrita Roy Md. A. Rahaman

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2012.11.01, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2012

Information technology revolution has brought a radical change in the way data are collected or generated for ease of decision making. It is generally observed that the data has not been consistently collected. The huge amount of data has no relevance unless it provides certain useful information. Only by unlocking the hidden data we can not use it to gain insight into customers, markets, and even to setup a new business. Therefore, the absence of associations in the attribute values may have information to predict the decision for our own business or to setup a new business. Based on decision theory, in the past many mathematical models such as naïve Bayes structure, human composed network structure, Bayesian network modeling etc. were developed. But, many such models have failed to include important aspects of classification. Therefore, an effort has been made to process inconsistencies in data being considered by Pawlak with the introduction of rough set theory. In this paper, we use two processes such as pre process and post process to predict the output values for the missing associations in the attribute values. In pre process we use rough computing, whereas in post process we use Bayesian classification to explore the output value for the missing associations and to get better knowledge affecting the decision making.

Model Reference PID Control of an Electro hydraulic Drive

By Ayman A. Aly

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2012.11.03, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2012

Hydraulic cranes are inherently nonlinear and contain components exhibiting strong friction, saturation, variable inertia mechanical loads, etc. The characteristics of these non-linear components are usually not known exactly as structure or parameters. For these reasons, tuning of the traditional PID controller parameters to control this system for the required performance faces a strong challenge. 
In this paper a new approach to design an adaptive PID control has the ability to solve the control problem of highly nonlinear systems such as the hydraulic crane was proposed. The core of the design method depends on comparing the performance of the Model Reference (MR) response with the nonlinear model response and feeding an adaptation signal to the PID control system to eliminate the error in between. It is found that the proposed MR-PID control policy provided the most consistent performance in terms of rise time and settling time regardless of the nonlinearities.

Performance-Based Adaptive Gradient Descent Optimal Coefficient Fuzzy Sliding Mode Methodology

By Farzin Piltan Bamdad Boroomand Arman Jahed Hossein Rezaie

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2012.11.05, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2012

Design a nonlinear controller for second order nonlinear uncertain dynamical systems is the main challenge in this paper. This paper focuses on the design and analysis of a chattering free Mamdani’s fuzzy-based tuning gradient descent optimal error-based fuzzy sliding mode controller for highly nonlinear dynamic six degrees of freedom robot manipulator, in presence of uncertainties. Conversely, pure sliding mode controller is used in many applications; it has two important drawbacks namely; chattering phenomenon and nonlinear equivalent dynamic formulation in uncertain dynamic parameter. In order to solve the uncertain nonlinear dynamic parameters, implement easily and avoid mathematical model base controller, Mamdani’s performance/error-based fuzzy logic methodology with two inputs and one output and 49 rules is applied to pure sliding mode controller. Pure sliding mode controller and error-based fuzzy sliding mode controller have difficulty in handling unstructured model uncertainties. To solve this problem applied fuzzy-based tuning method to error-based fuzzy sliding mode controller for adjusting the sliding surface gain. Since the sliding surface gain is adjusted by gradient descent optimization method. Fuzzy-based tuning gradient descent optimal error-based fuzzy sliding mode controller is stable model-free controller which eliminates the chattering phenomenon without to use the boundary layer saturation function. Lyapunov stability is proved in fuzzy-based tuning gradient descent optimal fuzzy sliding mode controller based on switching (sign) function. This controller has acceptable performance in presence of uncertainty (e.g., overshoot=0%, rise time=0.8 second, steady state error = 1e-9 and RMS error=1.8e-12).

An Introduction to the Theory of Imprecise Soft Sets

By Tridiv Jyoti Neog Dusmanta Kumar Sut

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2012.11.09, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2012

This paper aims to introduce the theory of imprecise soft sets which is a hybrid model of soft sets and imprecise sets. It has been established that two independent laws of randomness are necessary and sufficient to define a law of fuzziness. Further, in case of fuzzy sets, the set theoretic axioms of exclusion and contradiction are not satisfied. Accordingly, the theory of imprecise sets has been developed where these mistakes arising in the literature of fuzzy sets are absent. Our work is an endeavor to combine imprecise sets with soft sets resulting in imprecise soft sets. We have put forward a matrix representation of imprecise soft sets. Finally we have studied the notion of similarity of two imprecise soft sets and put forward an application of similarity in a decision problem.

Delay Computation Using Fuzzy Logic Approach

By Pandey M.K. Dandotiya A. Trivedi M.K. Bhadoriya S.S. Ramasesh G. R.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2012.11.10, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2012

The paper presents practical application of fuzzy sets and system theory in predicting delay, with reasonable accuracy, a wide range of factors pertaining to construction projects. In this paper we shall use fuzzy logic to predict delays on account of Delayed supplies and Labor shortage. It is observed that the project scheduling software use either deterministic method or probabilistic method for computation of schedule durations, delays, lags and other parameters. In other words, these methods use only quantitative inputs leaving-out the qualitative aspects associated with individual activity of work. The qualitative aspect viz., the expertise of the mason or the lack of experience can have a significant impact on the assessed duration. Such qualitative aspects do not find adequate representation in the Project Scheduling software. A realistic project is considered for which a PERT chart has been prepared using showing all the major activities in reasonable detail. This project has been periodically updated until its completion. It is observed that some of the activities are delayed due to extraneous factors resulting in the overall delay of the project. The software has the capability to calculate the overall delay through CPM (Critical Path Method) when each of the activity-delays is reported. We shall now demonstrate that by using fuzzy logic, these delays could have been predicted well in advance.

A Comparative Analysis of Multigranular Approaches and on Topoligical Properties of Incomplete Pessimistic Multigranular Rough Fuzzy Sets

By B.K. Tripathy M. Nagaraju

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijisa.2012.11.12, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2012

Rough sets, introduced by Pawlak as a model to capture impreciseness in data have been a very useful tool in several applications. These basic rough sets are defined by taking equivalence relations over a universe. In order to enhance the modeling powers of rough sets, several extensions to the basic definition has been introduced over the past few years. Extending the single granular structure of research in classical rough set theory two notions of Multigranular approaches; Optimistic Multigranulation and Pessimistic Multigranulation have been introduced so far. Topological properties of rough sets along with accuracy measures are two important features of rough sets from the application point of view. Topological properties of Optimistic Multigranular rough sets Optimistic Multigranular rough fuzzy sets and Pessimistic Multigranular rough sets have been studied. Incomplete information systems take care of missing values for items in data tables. Optimistic and pessimistic MGRS have also been extended to such type of incomplete information systems. In this paper we provide a comparative study of the two types of Multigranular approaches along with other related notions. Also, we extend the study to topological properties of incomplete pessimistic MGRFS. These results hold both for complete and incomplete information systems.
