Multi-valued cognitive maps: Calculations with linguistic variables without using numbers
2023, Fuzzy Sets and SystemsCitation Excerpt :However, when processing a set of expert assessments, these three ones result in a lattice of eight elements (or four, as in [8]). Such a lattice is used in [9], [10], [11], [12], which deal with causal cognitive maps rather than fuzzy ones, and use the relational theory of [13] and [14]. These maps track the cumulative effect of influencing the concept across all paths, and they do not track changes in concept values.
Study on the interactive relationship between urban residents’ expenditure and energy consumption of production sectors
2021, Energy PolicyCitation Excerpt :If no material flow is recorded, this indirect influence, who does exist, will not be captured using IOA and cause inaccuracy in the analysis. Fuzzy cognitive map (FCM), based on mesh model, is one of the analytical tools to objectively describe causality (Chaib-Draa and Desharnais, 1998). Concept-related facts, features and relationships among the system can be shown through arcs (Papageorgiou, 2011), and the causality between the elements can be clearly expressed, which overcomes the “black-box” problem existing in traditional neural network algorithm (Gao et al., 2004).
Utilisation of cognitive map in modelling human error in marine accident analysis and prevention
2014, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :On the other hand, there is no causal relationship existing between the “lack of ship safety meeting (UP10)” and the “negligence of environmental control (UA10)” since environmental control is not the full scope of safety meeting on board. Since, there is no dependencies among the two concepts (UP10 and UA10), the relevant is determined as zero (Chaib-Draa and Deshornais, 1998). Since two negative arguments are normally expecting each other positively, there is no minus sign in the relation matrix.
Semi-quantitative actor-based modelling as a tool to assess the drivers of change and physical variables in participatory integrated assessments
2013, Environmental Modelling and SoftwareCitation Excerpt :Our approach is based on modelling the problem perceptions of societal actors with the software DANA (http://dana.actoranalysis.com, Bots et al., 2000; Bots, 2007a). In DANA, actor perceptions are represented as causal maps (Axelrod, 1976; Chaib-draa and Desharnais, 1998; Eden, 2004; Montibeller and Belton, 2006) that show relations between goals, actions and external influences. Assuming rational choice, the actors' preferred strategies can be automatically inferred from these maps.
