This article proposes two novel modified techniques, namely Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid Order of Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (PFH-TOPSIS) method and Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid ELimination and Choice Translating REality I (PFH-ELECTRE I) method, in order to measure risk rankings in failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). These methods are designed to overcome the flaws and shortcomings of traditional crisp risk priority numbers and fuzzy FMEA techniques in risk rankings. The proposed methods consider subjective as well as objective weight values of all factors in risk rankings of identified failures. The FMEA experts team are allowed to submit their information by linguistic terms using Pythagorean fuzzy numbers. Both techniques use a Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging operator to aggregate their independent evaluations into group assessments. Subsequent steps are different. The PFH-TOPSIS approach computes the distances of failure modes from the Pythagorean fuzzy positive ideal solution and Pythagorean fuzzy negative ideal solution. To evaluate failure modes, the PFH-ELECTRE I approach produces Pythagorean fuzzy concordance and Pythagorean fuzzy discordance matrices. We illustrate the structure of both techniques with the help of flowcharts. The effectiveness of the methods that we develop is described by a numerical example, namely a case study of 1.8-in. color super-twisted nematic (CSTN). To validate their effectiveness and accuracy, we provide a comprehensive comparative analysis with existing techniques of risk evaluation, including intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid TOPSIS, intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS, IWF-TOPSIS, and fuzzy TOPSIS methods.

Risk evaluation in failure modes and effects analysis: hybrid TOPSIS and ELECTRE I solutions with Pythagorean fuzzy information

In this study, bio-inspired computational techniques have been exploited to get the numerical solution of a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem arising in the modelling of the corneal shape. The computational process of modelling and optimization makes enormously straightforward to obtain accurate approximate solutions of the corneal shape models through artificial neural networks, pattern search (PS), genetic algorithms (GAs), simulated annealing (SA), active-set technique (AST), interior-point technique, sequential quadratic programming and their hybrid forms based on GA–AST, PS–AST and SA–AST. Numerical results show that the designed solvers provide a reasonable precision and efficiency with minimal computational cost. The efficacy of the proposed computing strategies is also investigated through a descriptive statistical analysis by means of histogram illustrations, probability plots and one-way analysis of variance.

The herpesvirus, polyomavirus, papillomavirus, and retrovirus families are associated with breast cancer. More effort is needed to assess the role of these viruses in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer cases in women. The aim of this paper is to propose an efficient segmentation and classification system in the Mammography Image Analysis Society (MIAS) images of medical images. Segmentation became challenging for medical images because they are not illuminated in the correct way. The role of segmentation is essential in concern with detecting syndromes in human. This research work is on the segmentation of medical images based on intuitionistic possibilistic fuzzy c-mean (IPFCM) clustering. Intuitionist fuzzy c-mean (IFCM) and possibilistic fuzzy c-mean (PFCM) algorithms are hybridised to deal with problems of fuzzy c-mean. The introduced clustering methodology, in this article, retains the positive points of PFCM which helps to overcome the problem of the coincident clusters, thus the noise and less sensitivity to the outlier. The IPFCM improves the fundamentals of fuzzy c-mean by using intuitionist fuzzy sets. For the clustering of mammogram images for breast cancer detector of abnormal images, IPFCM technique has been applied. The proposed method has been compared with other available fuzzy clustering methods to prove the efficacy of the proposed approach. We compared support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), rough set data analysis (RSDA) and Fuzzy-SVM classification algorithms for achieving an optimal classification result. The outcomes of the studies show that the proposed approach is highly effective with clustering and also with classification of breast cancer. The performance average segmentation accuracy for MIAS images with different noise level 5%, 7% and 9% of IPFCM is 91.25%, 87.50% and 85.30% accordingly. The average classification accuracy rates of the methods (Otsu, Fuzzy c-mean, IFCM, PFCM and IPFCM) for Fuzzy-SVM are 79.69%, 92.19%, 93.13%, 95.00%, and 98.85%, respectively.

Hand pose tracking is essential in sign languages An automatic recognition of performed hand signs facilitates a number of applications, especially for people with speech impairment to communication with normal people This framework which is called ASLNN proposes a new hand posture recognition technique for the American sign language alphabet based on the neural network which works on the geometrical feature extraction of hands A user’s hand is captured by a three-dimensional depth-based sensor camera; consequently, the hand is segmented according to the depth analysis features The proposed system is called depth-based geometrical sign language recognition as named DGSLR The DGSLR adopted in easier hand segmentation approach, which is further used in segmentation applications The proposed geometrical feature extraction framework improves the accuracy of recognition due to unchangeable features against hand orientation compared to discrete cosine transform and moment invariant The findings of the iterations demonstrate the combination of the extracted features resulted to improved accuracy rates Then, an artificial neural network is used to drive desired outcomes ASLNN is proficient to hand posture recognition and provides accuracy up to 9678% which will be discussed on the additional paper of this authors in this journal

The steepest descent method is frequently used for neural network tuning. Mini-batches are commonly used to get better tuning of the steepest descent in the neural network. Nevertheless, steepest descent with mini-batches could be delayed in reaching a minimum. The Hessian could be quicker than the steepest descent in reaching a minimum, and it is easier to achieve this goal by using the Hessian with mini-batches. In this article, the Hessian is combined with mini-batches for neural network tuning. The discussed algorithm is applied for electrical demand prediction.

In this article, a fuzzy logic model is proposed for more precise hourly electrical power demand modeling in New England The issue that exists when considering hourly electrical power demand modeling is that these types of plants have a large amount of data In order to obtain a more precise model of plants with a large amount of data, the main characteristics of the proposed fuzzy logic model are as follows: (1) it is in accordance with the conditions under which a fuzzy logic model and a radial basis mapping model are equivalent to obtain a new scheme, (2) it uses a combination of the descending gradient and the mini-lots approach to avoid applying the descending gradient to all data
