   <dc:title>Type-2 Fuzzy Probabilistic System for Proactive Monitoring of Uncertain Data-intensive Seasonal Time Series</dc:title>
   <dc:creator>Wang, Yuying</dc:creator>
   <dcterms:abstract>This research realises a type-2 fuzzy probabilistic system for proactive monitoring of uncertain data-intensive time series in both theoretical and practical implications.

In this thesis, a new form of representation, J-plane, is proposed for concave and un-normalized type-2 events as well as convex and normalizes ones, which facilitates bridging the gaps between higher order fuzzy probability realizations and real world problems.  Since J-plane representation, the investigation of type-2 fuzzy probability theory and the proposal of a type-2 fuzzy probabilistic system become possible.

Based on J-plane representation, a new fuzzy system model - a type-2 fuzzy probabilistic system is proposed incorporating probabilistic inference with type-2 fuzzy sets.  A special case study, a type-2 fuzzy SARIMA system is proposed and experimented in forecasting singleton and uncertain non-singleton bench mark data - Mackey-Glass time series.  The results show that the type-2 fuzzy SARIMA system has achieved significant improvements beyond its predecessors - the classical statistical model - SARIMA, type-1 and general type-2 fuzzy logic systems, no matter whether in the singleton or the non-singleton experiments, whereas a SARIMA model cannot forecast non-singleton data at all.

The type-2 fuzzy SARIMA system is applied in a real world scenario - WSS CAP-S proactive monitoring, and compared with the results of the statistical model SARIMA, type-1 and general type-2 fuzzy logic systems to show that, the type-2 fuzzy SARIMA  system can monitor practical uncertain data-intensive seasonal time series proactively and accurately, whereas its predecessors - the statistical model SARIMA, type-1 and general type-2 fuzzy logic systems - cannot deal with this at all.

As a series of concepts, algorithms, experiments, practical implements and comparisons prove that, a type-2 fuzzy probabilistic system is viable in practice which realises that type-2 fuzzy systems evolve from rule-based fuzzy systems to the systems incorporating probabilistic inference with type-2 fuzzy sets.</dcterms:abstract>
