Fuzzy data such as marks, scores, verbal evaluations, imprecise
observations, experts' opinions and grey tone pictures, are quite
common. In Fuzzy Data Analysis the authors collect their recent
results providing the reader with ideas, approaches and methods for
processing such data when looking for sub-structures in knowledge bases
for an evaluation of functional relationship, e.g. in order to specify
diagnostic or control systems. The modelling presented uses ideas from
fuzzy set theory and the suggested methods solve problems usually
tackled by data analysis if the data are real numbers.
Fuzzy Data Analysis is self-contained and is addressed to
mathematicians oriented towards applications and to practitioners in any
field of application who have some background in mathematics and
statistics.
