Defuzzification methods

struct BisectorDefuzzifier <: FuzzyLogic.AbstractDefuzzifier

Bisector defuzzifier. Given the aggregated output function $f$ and the output variable domain $[a, b]$ the defuzzified output is the value $t ∈ [a, b]$ that divides the area under $f$ into two equal parts. That is

\[∫_a^tf(x)\textrm{d}x = ∫_t^af(x)\textrm{d}x.\]

Parameters

• N::Int64: number of subintervals for integration, default 100.

Algorithm

The domain is partitioned into N equal subintervals. For each subinterval endpoint, the left and right area are approximated using the trapezoidal rule. The end point leading to the best approximation is the final result.

struct CentroidDefuzzifier <: FuzzyLogic.AbstractDefuzzifier

Centroid defuzzifier. Given the aggregated output function $f$ and the output variable domain $[a, b]$ the defuzzified output is the centroid computed as

\[\frac{∫_a^bxf(x)\textrm{d}x}{∫_a^bf(x)\textrm{d}x}.\]

Parameters

• N::Int64: number of subintervals for integration, default 100.

Algorithm

The integrals are computed numerically using the trapezoidal rule.

struct LeftMaximumDefuzzifier <: FuzzyLogic.AbstractDefuzzifier

Left maximum defuzzifier. Returns the smallest value in the domain for which the membership function reaches its maximum.

Parameters

• N::Int64: number of subintervals, default 100.

• tol::Float64: absolute tolerance to determine if a value is maximum, default eps(Float64).

struct MeanOfMaximaDefuzzifier <: FuzzyLogic.AbstractDefuzzifier

Mean of maxima defuzzifier. Returns the mean of the values in the domain for which the membership function reaches its maximum.

Parameters

• N::Int64: number of subintervals, default 100.

• tol::Float64: absolute tolerance to determine if a value is maximum, default eps(Float64).

struct RightMaximumDefuzzifier <: FuzzyLogic.AbstractDefuzzifier

Right maximum defuzzifier. Returns the largest value in the domain for which the membership function reaches its maximum.

Parameters

• N::Int64: number of subintervals, default 100.

• tol::Float64: absolute tolerance to determine if a value is maximum, default eps(Float64).
