Measurement of Membership Functions: Theoretical and Empirical Work
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter presents a review of various interpretations of the fuzzy membership function together with ways of obtaining a membership function. We emphasize that different interpretations of the membership function call for different elicitation methods. We try to make this distinction clear using techniques from measurement theory. 3.

The generation of fuzzy sets and the~construction of~characterizing functions of~fuzzy data
Measurement results contain different kinds of uncertainty. Besides systematic errors andrandom errors individual measurement results are also subject to another type of uncertainty,so-called emph{fuzziness}. It turns out that special fuzzy subsets of the set of real numbers $RR$are useful to model fuzziness of measurement results. These fuzzy subsets $x^*$ are called emph{fuzzy numbers}. The m...
متن کاملRobust Identification of Smart Foam Using Set Mem-bership Estimation in A Model Error Modeling Frame-work
The aim of this paper is robust identification of smart foam, as an electroacoustic transducer, considering unmodeled dynamics due to nonlinearities in behaviour at low frequencies and measurement noise at high frequencies as existent uncertainties. Set membership estimation combined with model error modelling technique is used where the approach is based on worst case scenario with unknown but...
متن کاملValue of Travel Time :Theoretical and Empirical Method
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) is the monetary value attached to save a determined amount of travel time. VTTS is also the most important benefit category aimed at justifying investments in transport infrastructures by public administrations. Hence VTTS played a significant role in various economic studies, both analytical and empirical (Zamparini & Reggiani, 2007). "It is difficult to...
متن کاملWhy Triangular Membership Functions Work Well in F-Transform: A Theoretical Explanation
In many practical applications, it is useful to represent a signal or an image by its average values on several fuzzy sets. The corresponding F-transform technique has many useful applications in signal and image processing. In principle, we can use different membership functions. Somewhat surprisingly, in many applications, the best results occur when we use triangular membership functions. In...
متن کاملTIME-VARYING FUZZY SETS BASED ON A GAUSSIAN MEMBERSHIP FUNCTIONS FOR DEVELOPING FUZZY CONTROLLER
The paper presents a novel type of fuzzy sets, called time-Varying Fuzzy Sets (VFS). These fuzzy sets are based on the Gaussian membership functions, they are depended on the error and they are characterized by the displacement of the kernels to both right and left side of the universe of discourse, the two extremes kernels of the universe are fixed for all time. In this work we focus only on t...
