Traditionally, precise values of state probabilities and performance metrics for each component were required, which could be challenging when data is lacking. To address this, the Interval <span>({L}_{z})</span> function is proposed, along with corresponding operators, enabling the calculation of interval-valued reliability indices for MSS. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is applied to a numerical example of a series–parallel system. In this example, we determine interval-valued reliability indices such as reliability, availability, mean expected performance, and expected profit, considering uncertain values for the performance and failure rates of each multi-state component.</p>","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140812915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to investigate the aforementioned issues and provide a more reliable data we propose the adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference (ANFIS) system enhanced by the mean particle swarm optimization (PSO) to predict the concentration of Sulfur Dioxide release in the atmosphere. This method takes the advantages of fuzzy logic system to address the uncertainties and the ability of neural network to learn from the data. Furthermore our study attempts to estimate the severity index of the released material with the help of fuzzy logic. The result of our study shows that the presented method is successfully applied and it can be a powerful alternative to deal with Sulfur Dioxide release.</p>","PeriodicalId":14463,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140637465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
