Remarks
A Fuzzy Clause is used to verify if a linguistic variable can be considered as a specific value at a specific moment. Linguistic variables can only assume value of their linugistic labels. Because of the nature of the Fuzzy Logic, a Variable can be several of its labels at the same time, with different membership values.
For example, a linguistic variable "temperature" can be "hot" with a membership 0.3 and "warm" with a membership 0.7 at the same time. To obtain those memberships, Fuzzy Clauses "temperature is hot" and "temperature is war" can be built.
Typically Fuzzy Clauses are used to build Fuzzy Rules (Rule).
Sample usage:
CopyC#// create a linguistic variable to represent temperature LinguisticVariable lvTemperature = new LinguisticVariable( "Temperature", 0, 80 ); // create the linguistic labels (fuzzy sets) that compose the temperature TrapezoidalFunction function1 = new TrapezoidalFunction( 10, 15, TrapezoidalFunction.EdgeType.Right ); FuzzySet fsCold = new FuzzySet( "Cold", function1 ); TrapezoidalFunction function2 = new TrapezoidalFunction( 10, 15, 20, 25 ); FuzzySet fsCool = new FuzzySet( "Cool", function2 ); TrapezoidalFunction function3 = new TrapezoidalFunction( 20, 25, 30, 35 ); FuzzySet fsWarm = new FuzzySet( "Warm", function3 ); TrapezoidalFunction function4 = new TrapezoidalFunction( 30, 35, TrapezoidalFunction.EdgeType.Left ); FuzzySet fsHot = new FuzzySet( "Hot" , function4 ); // adding labels to the variable lvTemperature.AddLabel( fsCold ); lvTemperature.AddLabel( fsCool ); lvTemperature.AddLabel( fsWarm ); lvTemperature.AddLabel( fsHot ); // creating the Clause Clause fuzzyClause = new Clause( lvTemperature, fsHot ); // setting the numerical input of the variable to evaluate the Clause lvTemperature.NumericInput = 35; float result = fuzzyClause.Evaluate( ); Console.WriteLine ( result.ToString( ) );
