Model fusion using fuzzy aggregation: Special applications to metal properties [PDF]

, 2012
To improve the modelling performance, one should either propose a new modelling methodology or make the best of existing models. In this paper, the study is concentrated on the latter solution, where a structure-free modelling paradigm is proposed.
