Possibilistic data analysis for operations research (Q1300342)

This book focusses on some new achievements on possibility theory and its applications for operations research. Chapter 1 outlines the content of this book and intends to show that possibility theory plays a very important role in operations research. Chapter 2 covers the fundamentals of possibility theory, such as possibility distributions, possibility and necessity measures and possibilistic linear systems. Chapter 3 focusses on the theory of possibilistic systems based on exponential possibility distributions. Chapter 4 introduces a detailed method for identifying the possibility distributions. Chapter 5 is devoted to possibility regression analysis. Chapter 6 proposes the new portfolio selection models based on possibility distributions. Chapter 7 addresses discriminant analysis based on possibility distributions. In the last Chapter 8 rough set analysis is introduced.
