Analysis and Decision Making in Uncertain Systems

Focusing on decision-making under uncertainty, this book provides a systematic exploration of analysis and decision problems within knowledge-based decision support systems. It introduces innovative concepts like uncertain variables and a learning process for knowledge validation and updating. The work integrates various descriptions of uncertainty—random, uncertain, and fuzzy variables—demonstrating their application in areas such as dynamical control systems and knowledge-based pattern recognition. The text is structured to be self-contained, making it accessible for readers.
