The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the current state of fuzzy logic theory in epidemiology, which is a recent area of research. We present four applications of fuzzy logic theory in epidemic problems, using linguistic fuzzy models, possibility measure, probability of fuzzy events and fuzzy decision making techniques. The results demonstrate that the applications of fuzzy sets in epidemiology is a very promising area of research. The final discussion sets the future stage of fuzzy sets application in epidemiology.
本文旨在综述模糊逻辑理论在流行病学中的现状,这是一个较新的研究领域。我们运用语言模糊模型、可能性测度、模糊事件概率和模糊决策技术,展示了模糊逻辑理论在流行病问题中的四个应用。结果表明,模糊集在流行病学中的应用是一个非常有前景的研究领域。最后的讨论设定了模糊集在流行病学中应用的未来阶段。
