In this work we introduce a new flexible fuzzy GARCH model for conditional density estimation. The model combines two different types of uncertainty, namely fuzziness or linguistic vagueness, and probabilistic uncertainty. The probabilistic uncertainty is modeled through a GARCH model while the...

Public concern nowadays is an important frame of reference for the development of agricultural production systems. The development of such systems, therefore, involves both society level and production system level. Following Zadeh's principle of incompatibility, information obtained at...

Recently, a Competitive Exception Learning Algorithm (CELA) was introduced [1, 2]. This algorithm establishes an optimal mapping from a (continuous) M-dimensional input sample space to an N-dimensional (continuous) output sample space. CELA is aimed to discover regimes (i.e. local behavior in...

It is widely recognized that approaching sustainability in rangeland management needs to take many criteria into consideration which unavoidably calls for the application of multi-criteria decision making approach. Bearing conflicting objectives in mind, which are mainly conservation and...
