Abstract

The need to cope with complicated natural disaster system calls for a sophisticated way of analyzing it with the help of fuzzy methods. Therefore, four models are suggested succeedingly to represent a fuzzy probability distribution with a small sample. In this paper, we inspect the four models in detail and evaluate their performance on an emulation test.
