Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms and Next-State Models
The construction of networks that model biological activities is an important open question. In this thesis, we explore the modeling of biological networks using Fuzzy Logic. Fuzzy Logic models allow for genes to not only be on or off but also be partially on or partially off. The models we …

A Culturally Responsive Evaluation Lens to Logic Model Design
… connections have been made between CRE and logic model designs. Logic models commonly used by evaluators are data visualization and communication tools designed to aid in effectively communicating a program’s theory. Nevertheless, little is understood about the role culture plays in this …

Landscapes of Danger: A Geospatial Analysis of Perceived and Realistic Risk in Bryce Canyon National Park
… popularity. To identify risky areas, two fuzzy logic models were built: one to identify areas susceptible to rockfall and another to identify areas susceptible to landslides/slumps. Overall, respondents reported feeling largely unconcerned when ranking their perception of various risks within …

Quantitative analysis of the receptor-induced apoptotic decision network
… of interpretation in modeling by adapting fuzzy logic to analyze a previously published experimental dataset characterizing the dynamic behavior of kinase pathways governing apoptosis in human colon carcinoma cells. Simulations of our fuzzy logic model recapitulated most features of the data and …

Improving risk-adjusted performance in high-frequency trading: The role of fuzzy logic systems
… trading performance of the proposed fuzzy logic models. We show that applying risk-return objective functions and accounting for transaction costs improve out-of-sample results. Our experiments identify that neuro-fuzzy models exhibit superior performance stability across multiple risk …
