Estimation of Fuzzy Measures Using Covariance Matrices in Gaussian Mixtures by Nishchal K. Verma

“…The mixture components of GMM provide the membership functions for the input-output fuzzy sets. By treating consequent part as a function of fuzzy measures, we derived its coefficients from the covariance matrices found directly from GMM and the defuzzified output constructed from both the premise and consequent parts of the nonadditive fuzzy rules that takes the form of Choquet integral. …”

An assessment of the likely impact of strain-related phenotypic plasticity on hominin fossil species identification by M. Collard, S.J. Lycett

“…We divided the measurements into three groups: measurements of features subject to high masticatory strain, measurements of features subject to low-to-moderate masticatory strain, and measurements of features that do not remodel and therefore are not prone to strain-related phenotypic plasticity. Next, we used the coefficient of variation and ANOVA to investigate whether masticatory strain is a cause of variability. …”
