概要	Belief Rule Base (BRB), introduced by Yang et al. in 2006 under the RIMER framework, is an expert-system inference methodology that extends classical if-then rules by attaching belief degree distributions to rule consequents. It combines rule-based reasoning with the Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach, enabling the representation and propagation of uncertainty, incompleteness, and vagueness in complex decision problems across engineering, risk assessment, and management domains.	A fuzzy cognitive map, introduced by Bart Kosko in 1986, represents a system as a network of concepts connected by signed, weighted causal links, and simulates how the concepts influence one another over time. By combining the intuitive structure of a cognitive map with fuzzy weights and iterative activation, FCMs let experts encode causal knowledge and then run what-if scenarios — making them popular for policy analysis, strategic decision-making, and modelling complex socio-technical systems.
