Similarity measures for content-based image retrieval based on intuitionistic fuzzy set theory
In this paper, a new intuitionistic fuzzy model for images based on the HSV color histogram is proposed. The image can be treated as an Attanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) with this new model. A new and simple calculation of similarity measurement called IFSL1 based on similarity measurement of intuitionistic fuzzy set L1 is presented.

Coal seam gas content is frequently measured in quantity during underground coal mining operation and coalbed methane (CBM) exploration as a significant basic parameter. Due to the calculation error of lost gas and residual gas in the direct method, the efficiency and accuracy of the current methods are not inadequate to the large area multi-point ...

What Do You Think You Are Measuring? A Mixed-Methods Procedure for Assessing the Content Validity of Test Items and Theory-Based Scaling [PDF]
The valid measurement of latent constructs is crucial for psychological research. Here, we present a mixed-methods procedure for improving the precision of construct definitions, determining the content validity of items, evaluating the representativeness of items for the target construct, generating test items, and analyzing items on a theoretical ...
