 Introduction

Steps (Earl Cox based on previous slide):

1. Input vocabulary, fuzzification (creating fuzzy sets)
2. Fuzzy propositions IF X is Y THEN Z (or Z is A) there
are four types of propositions
3. Hedges very, extremely, somewhat, more, less
4. Combination and evaluation computation of the results
given the inputs
5. Action - defuzzification

 Fuzzy Propositions types 1 and 2

GENERAL FORMS
1. Unconditional and unqualified
proposition: Q is P
Example: Temperature(Q) is high(P)
Q (x) then resultx P1( ).
2. Unconditional and qualified
proposition: proposition(Q is P) is R
Example: That Coimbra and Catania are beautiful is very
true.
min{co( x),ca ( x)} , then resultx vtrue
1 ( )

3. Conditional and unqualified

proposition: IF Q is P THEN R is S
Example: If Robert is tall, then clothes are large.
If car is slow, then gear is low.
Q (x) , then resultx P1( )
R (resultx) , then resultfina l S1( )

4. Conditional and qualified

proposition: IF Q is P THEN R is S is T
{proposition(IF Q is P THEN R is S )} is T
Q (x) , then resultx P1( )
R (resultx) , then resultprop osition S1( )
resultfina l T1( )
