© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017. The interpretation of degrees of membership as statistical likelihood is probably the oldest interpretation of fuzzy sets. It allows in particular to easily incorporate fuzzy data and fuzzy infere... Read More about The likelihood interpretation of fuzzy data.

Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence (2016)
Journal Article
Cattaneo, M. E. G. V., Augustin, T., Plass, J., & Schollmeyer, G. (2017). Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 456, 415-422. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42972-4_51

Abstract Since coarse(ned) data naturally induce set-valued estimators, analysts often assume coarsening at random (CAR) to force them to be single-valued. Using the PASS data as an example, we re-illustrate the impossibility to test CAR and contrast... Read More about Testing of coarsening mechanisms: Coarsening at random versus subgroup independence.

Rotation of slender swimmers in isotropic-drag media (2016)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2016). Rotation of slender swimmers in isotropic-drag media. Physical Review E, 93(4), Article 043125. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.93.043125

The drag anisotropy of slender filaments is a critical physical property allowing swimming in low-Reynolds number flows, and without it linear translation is impossible. Here we show that, in contrast, net rotation can occur under isotropic drag. We... Read More about Rotation of slender swimmers in isotropic-drag media.
