Annotation reproducibility and accuracy rely on good consistency within annotators. We propose a novel method for measuring within annotator consistency or annotator Intraobserver Agreement (IA). The proposed approach is based on…
A measure of asymmetry is a quantification method that allows for the comparison of categorical evaluations before and after treatment effects or among different target populations, irrespective of sample size. We focus on square…
A new fuzzy method is developed using triangular/trapezoidal fuzzy numbers for evaluating a group's mean performance, when qualitative grades instead of numerical scores are used for assessing its members' individual performance. Also, a…
In target tracking and sensor fusion contexts it is not unusual to deal with a large number of Gaussian densities that encode the available information (multiple hypotheses), as in applications where many sensors, affected by clutter or…
The construction of numerical value scales (or priority values) is a recurrent topic in decision-aiding research. However, in real contexts, uncertainty and limited cognitive precision often lead decision-makers to provide interval…
This paper introduces a novel statistical framework for independent component analysis (ICA) of multivariate data. We propose methodology for estimating and testing the existence of mutually independent components for a given dataset, and a…
Responsible indicators are crucial for research assessment and monitoring. Transparency and accuracy of indicators are required to make research assessment fair and ensure reproducibility. However, sometimes it is difficult to conduct or…
As a fundamental information fusion approach, the arithmetic average (AA) fusion has recently been investigated for various random finite set (RFS) filter fusion in the context of multi-sensor multi-target tracking. It is not a…
The purpose of the paper is to provide a new way of seeing the p-value in terms of a fuzzy membership function. According to the ASAs statement, we aim at removing the arbitrary choice of the significance level and at demonstrating that the…
A model to represent spatial information is presented in this paper. It is based on fuzzy constraints represented as fuzzy geometric relations that can be hierarchically structured. The concept of spatial template is introduced to capture…
We propose a novel measure for template matching named Deformable Diversity Similarity -- based on the diversity of feature matches between a target image window and the template. We rely on both local appearance and geometric information…
A generalization of the classical concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) is considered under a three-level design where multiple raters rate every subject over time, and each rater is rating every subject multiple times at each measuring…
Gradual numbers have been introduced recently as a means of extending standard interval computation methods to fuzzy intervals. The literature treats monotonic functions of fuzzy intervals. In this paper, we combine the concepts of gradual…
We consider the problem where a set of individuals has to classify $m$ objects into $p$ categories and does so by aggregating the individual classifications. We show that if $m\geq 3$, $m\geq p\geq 2$, and classifications are fuzzy, that…
The definition of weighted distance measure involves weights. The paper proposes a weighted distance measure without the help of weights. Here, weights are intrinsically added to the measure, and for this, the concept of metric space is…
In this study we compare Ces\`{a}ro and Euler weighted mean methods of summability of sequences of fuzzy numbers with Abel and Borel power series methods of summability of sequences of fuzzy numbers. Also some results dealing with series of…
Measures of similarity (or dissimilarity) are a key ingredient to many machine learning algorithms. We introduce DID, a pairwise dissimilarity measure applicable to a wide range of data spaces, which leverages the data's internal structure…
We propose new summary measures of diagnostic test accuracy which can be used as companions to existing diagnostic accuracy measures. Conceptually, our summary measures are tantamount to the so-called Hellinger affinity and we show that…
Extracting the relevant information by exploiting the spatial data warehouse becomes increasingly hard. In fact, because of the enormous amount of data stored in the spatial data warehouse, the user, usually, don't know what part of the…
