Human Factors Research

Traditional techniques applied in the analysis of human-centered systems fail to recognize the human- and system-based uncertainties due to imprecision and vagueness of human thinking. A new methodology is needed to cope with ill-defined relationships between people, their machines and environments. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of fuzziness, and to identify the potential applications of fuzzy set theory in the area of human factors. Examples of recent and ongoing studies on the relevant application of fuzzy sets in this area are also given.

ABSTRACT Red and blue galaxies are traditionally classified using some specific cuts in colour or other galaxy properties, which are supported by empirical arguments. The vagueness associated with such cuts are likely to introduce a significant contamination in these samples. Fuzzy sets are vague boundary sets that can efficiently capture the classification uncertainty in the absence of any precise boundary. We propose a method for classification of galaxies according to their colours using fuzzy set theory. We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to construct a fuzzy set for red galaxies with its members having different degrees of ‘redness’. We show that the fuzzy sets for the blue and green galaxies can be obtained from it using different fuzzy operations. We also explore the possibility of using fuzzy relation to study the relationship between different galaxy properties and discuss its strengths and limitations.

Gradual Development

The chapter begins by introducing the important and useful distinction between the research agendas of fuzzy logic in the narrow and the broad senses. The chapter deals with the latter agenda, whose ultimate goal is to employ intuitive fuzzy set theory for emulating commonsense human reasoning in natural language and other unique capabilities of human beings. Restricting to standard fuzzy sets, whose membership degrees are real numbers in the unit interval [0,1], the chapter describes how this broad agenda has become increasingly specific via the gradual development of standard fuzzy set theory and the associated fuzzy logic. An overview of currently recognized nonstandard fuzzy sets, which open various new directions in fuzzy logic, is presented in the last section of this chapter.

AbstractThe relation between the categories of Fuzzy Sets and that of Sheaves is explored and the precise connection between them is explicated. In particular, it is shown that if the notion of fuzzy sets is further fuzzified by making equality (as well as membership) fuzzy, the resultant categories are indeed toposes.

Weighting Rule

Fuzzy Set Theory has proved popular for development of decision making models. However, most such models have not been tested using problems such as commonly found in Human Factors system design. This study used a decision model that combined Fuzzy Set decision rules with an eigenvector weighting rule. Five experienced Human Factors Designers solved six design problems, half manually, and half using a computer program that served as a decision making aid, using the model. On completion of the procedure, the computer model made a recommendation for a solution. The user could accept or reject the model's choice. Comparisons were made between manual and computer aided decision making, and the Fuzzy Set decision rule was compared with other possible decision rules using the same data. Results showed that use of the model-based decision aid was accepted by the users, and were reasonable. In addition, a possible measure of decision making quality was found in the measure of weighting inconsistency which is part of the eigenvector procedure.

Chu Spaces

Chu spaces, which derive from the Chu construct of *-autonomous categories, can be used to represent most mathematical structures. Moreover, the logic of Chu spaces is linear logic. Most efforts to incorporate fuzzy set theory into the realm of linear logic are based on the assumption that fuzzy and linear negation are identical operations. We propose an incorporation based on the opposite assumption and we provide an interpretation of some linear connectives. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to represent any fuzzy relational structure as a Chu space by means of the functor G.

Parametric Families

In fuzzy set theory, t-norms and t-conorms are fundamental binary operators. Yager proposed respective parametric families of both t-norms and t-conorms. In this paper, we apply these operators for the analysis of Pythagorean fuzzy sets. For this purpose, we introduce six families of aggregation operators named Pythagorean fuzzy Yager weighted averaging aggregation, Pythagorean fuzzy Yager ordered weighted averaging aggregation, Pythagorean fuzzy Yager hybrid weighted averaging aggregation, Pythagorean fuzzy Yager weighted geometric aggregation, Pythagorean fuzzy Yager ordered weighted geometric aggregation and Pythagorean fuzzy Yager hybrid weighted geometric aggregation. These tools inherit the operational advantages of the Yager parametric families. They enable us to study two multi-attribute decision-making problems. Ultimately we can choose the best option by comparison of the aggregate outputs through score values. We show this procedure with two practical fully developed examples.

Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Set

In this chapter, we deal with dual hesitant fuzzy set theory and compute the fuzzy reliability with lifetime components of different electronic systems, such as series and parallel systems from a Markov chain technique. In dual hesitant fuzzy sets, we have membership and non-membership degree function whereas hesitant fuzzy sets only have membership function. In this chapter we also discuss the Weibull distribution and reliability function of the proposed systems. A numerical example is also given in the end of proposed algorithm.
