Abstract:
This talk is to discuss the application of fuzzy set theory in decision
analysis under uncertainty. It introduces the fundamental concepts of fuzzy
sets, linguistic variables, preference modeling,
approximate reasoning and their applications in business. Two real applications
will be presented that show the applicability of the concepts discussed in
addressing real world decision problems under uncertainty.
