<strong>Fuzzy</strong> <strong>Logic</strong> Toolbox Description<br />

<strong>Fuzzy</strong> <strong>Logic</strong> Toolbox software is a collection of functions built on the<br />

MATLAB ® technical computing environment. It provides tools for you to<br />

create and edit fuzzy inference systems within the framework of MATLAB.<br />

You can also integrate your fuzzy systems into simulations with Simulink ®<br />

software. You can even build stand-alone C programs that call on fuzzy<br />

systems you build with MATLAB. This toolbox relies heavily on graphical<br />

user interface (GUI) tools to help you accomplish your work, although you can<br />

work entirely from the command line if you prefer.<br />

The toolbox provides three categories of tools:<br />

• Command line functions<br />

• Graphical interactive tools<br />

• Simulink blocks and examples<br />

The first category of tools is made up of functions that you can call from the<br />

command line or from your own applications. Many of these functions are<br />

MATLAB M-files, series of MATLAB statements that implement specialized<br />

fuzzy logic algorithms. You can view the MATLAB code for these functions<br />

using the statement<br />

type function_name<br />

You can change the way any toolbox function works by copying and renaming<br />

the M-file, then modifying your copy. You can also extend the toolbox by<br />

adding your own M-files.<br />
