FUZZY Basic FIS editor.
The FIS Editor displays high-level information about a
Fuzzy Inference System. At the top is a diagram of the
system with each input and output clearly labeled. By
double-clicking on the input or output boxes, you can bring
up the Membership Function Editor. Double-clicking on the
fuzzy rule box in the center of the diagram will bring up

the Rule Editor.

Just below the diagram is a text field that displays the
name of the current FIS. In the lower left of the window are
a series of popup menus that allow you to specify the various
functions used in the fuzzy implication process. In the lower
right are fields that provide information about the current
variable. The current variable is determined by clicking once
on one of the input or output boxes.

Working with the functions

In order to see how the functions work, type "help [function_name]" in the
command line. For example, for the "trimf" function, you will type:
help trimf
TRIMF Triangular membership function.
TRIMF(X, PARAMS) returns a matrix which is the triangular
membership function evaluated at X. PARAMS = [A B C] is a 3-element
vector that determines the break points of this membership function.
Usually we require A <= B <= C.
Note that this MF always has a height of unity. To have a triangular
MF with a height less than unity, use TRAPMF instead.
For example:
x = (0:0.2:10)';
y1 = trimf(x, [3 4 5]);
y2 = trimf(x, [2 4 7]);
y3 = trimf(x, [1 4 9]);
subplot(211), plot(x, [y1 y2 y3]);
y1 = trimf(x, [2 3 5]);
y2 = trimf(x, [3 4 7]);
y3 = trimf(x, [4 5 9]);
subplot(212), plot(x, [y1 y2 y3]);
set(gcf, 'name', 'trimf', 'numbertitle', 'off');

Explore the information given by Matlab about working with this function

Exercise 1
Run the example presented in the "trimf" function help. Use "copy and paste" for
the entire sequence. Analyze what happens, line by line.
Remember: you can always use "help [function_name]" to view details about any
function.
Exercise 2
Re - run Exercise 1 for any other function in the "Membership functions" group.
Launching the graphical editor for creating a FLS
Type the following in the command line:
fuzzy

Exercise 3

Import an existing FLS in the graphical editor, namely the FLS for computing the
tip for a meal at the restaurant. Follow these steps:
download the archieve "tip.zip" from the course's web
page:http://www.bel.utcluj.ro/dce/didactic/sln/sln.htm and save its content
(unzipped) into Matlab's current folder.
from the graphical editor, go to "File -> Import -> From file..." and select
"tip.fis".
Explore the options available from the menus.
Functions for creating/modifying/exploring a FLS from the command line
Load "tip.fis" in the workspace variable "tip" using:
close all
clear all
clc
tip = readfis ('tip.fis');

Use the following command to see the existing workspace variables:

who
Your variables are:
tip

Use the following command to see the properties of the fuzzy system:
getfis(tip)
Name
= tip
Type
= mamdani
NumInputs = 2
InLabels =
service
food
NumOutputs = 1
OutLabels =
tip
NumRules = 3
AndMethod = min
OrMethod = max
ImpMethod = min
AggMethod = max
DefuzzMethod = centroid
ans =

tip

Use the following command to display the fuzzy system's diagram:

plotfis(tip)

Use the following command to display the control surface generated by the fuzzy
system:
gensurf(tip)

Use "newfis" to create a new fuzzy system. For additional information, type:
help newfis
NEWFIS Create new FIS.
FIS=NEWFIS(FISNAME) creates a new Mamdani-style FIS structure
FIS=NEWFIS(FISNAME, FISTYPE) creates a FIS structure for a Mamdani or
Sugeno-style system with the name FISNAME.
FIS=NEWFIS(FISNAME, FISTYPE, andMethod, orMethod, impMethod, ...
aggMethod, defuzzMethod)
specifies the methods for AND, OR, implication, aggregation, and
defuzzification, respectively.

Fuzzy systems in Simulink

In order to see how a fuzzy system behaves in Simulink, load the model,
"tip_sim.mdl", by typing the following sequence in the command line:
close all
clear all
clc
tip = readfis ('tip.fis');
tip_sim;

The model consists of:

a fuzzy logic controller with rule viewer
two constant value blocks, for the two input variables ("food" and
"service")
a display block, for the output variable ("tip")
To run the model, press the "Run" button from the toolbar, or type the following
command:
sim('tip_sim.mdl');

Exercise 4
Change the values for "food" and/or "service", and notice how they influence the
value of the tip.
Note: the values for "food" and "service" must be between 0 and 10.
Use the mouse to modify the values for "food" and "service" from the rule viewer
window. The value of the tip will change consequently.
The control surface (graphical representation of the output variable (tip) as a
function of the two input variables (service, food)) generated by the FLS can be
displayed.
To that effect, form the Rule Viewer window use the menu "View - Surface".
