Angular Fuzzy Sets

Angular Fuzzy sets are defined on a universe
of angles with 2 as cycle.
The truth values of the linguistic variable are
represented by angular fuzzy sets
If truth the MV is -1
If false the MV is- 0
In b/w 0-1 the values is partially true or false
Ex: PH value of waste water

Neutral[7] =0
EB & EA =90/2 & -90/2
VB &MB [7-14] 0 &90/2..
VA & MB..[0-7]

- 0 &-90/2.

Where t= angular projection of radial vector
Angular Fuzzy sets are useful for situations:
Having a natural basis in polar coordinates, or the
variable
is cyclic.

Neural Networks
We have the data sets for inputs and outputs, the
relationship between I/O may be highly nonlinear or
not known.
We can classify them into different fuzzy classes.

Inductive Reasoning
Deriving a general consensus from the particular
(from specific to generic)
The induction is performed by the entropy
minimization principle, which clusters most
optimally the parameters corresponding to the
output classes.
The method can be useful for complete systems
where the data are abundant and static.
The intent of induction is to discover a law having
objective validity and universal application.

Inductive Reasoning
The membership functions using inductive
reasoning are generated as follow
1.A fuzzy threshold is to be established
between classes of data
2.Using entropy minimization screening
method, first determine the threshold line
3.Then start the segmentation process

4. Again partitioning the first two classes one

more time , we obtain three different
classes
5. Again partitioning the first two classes one
more time , we obtain three different
classes
6. The partitioning is repeated with threshold
value calculation, which lead us to partition
the data set into a number of classes or
fuzzy sets

DEFUZZIFICATION

Defuzzification is a mapping process from a space of fuzzy

control actions defined over an output universe of
discourse into a space of crisp (nonfuzzy) control actions.

Defuzzification is a process of converting output fuzzy

variable into a unique number.

Defuzzification process has the capability to reduce a fuzzy

set into a crisp single-valued quantity or into a crisp set; to
convert a fuzzy matrix into a crisp matrix; or to convert a
fuzzy number into a crisp number.

METHODS OF DEFUZZIFICATION
Defuzzification is the process of conversion of a fuzzy quantity
into a precise quantity. Defuzzification methods include:

Max-membership principle,
Centroid method,
Weighted average method,
Mean-max membership,
Center of sums,
Center of largest area,
First of maxima, last of maxima.

FUZZY DECISION

MAX MEMBERSHIP METHOD

Fuzzy set with the largest membership value is selected.

Fuzzy decision: Fn = {P, F. G, VG, E}
Fn = {0.6, 0.4, 0.2, 0.2, 0}
Final decision (FD) = Poor Student
If two decisions have same membership max, use the
average of the two.

CENTROID METHOD
This method is also known as center-of-mass, center-of-area,
or center-of-gravity method. It is the most commonly used
defuzzification method. The defuzzified output x* is defined as

where the symbol denotes an algebraic

integration.

x*

WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD

(Only valid for symmetrical output membership functions)

MEAN MAX MEMBERSHIP METHOD

CENTER OF SUMS
Center of sums Method
Faster than any defuzzification method
Involves algebraic sum of individual output fuzzy
sets, instead of their union
Drawback: intersecting areas are added twice.

It is similar to the weighted average method, but

the weights are the areas, instead of individual
membership values.

CENTER OF LARGEST AREA

This method can be adopted when the output consists of at
least two convex fuzzy subsets which are not overlapping. The
output in this case is biased towards a side of one
membership function. When output fuzzy set has at least two
convex regions then the center-of-gravity of the convex fuzzy
subregion having the largest area is used to obtain the
defuzzified value x*. This value is given by

where
is the convex subregion that has the largest area
