Glossary<br />

fuzzy c-means clustering<br />

A data clustering technique wherein each data point belongs to a cluster<br />

to a degree specified by a membership grade.<br />

fuzzy inference system (FIS)<br />

The overall name for a system that uses fuzzy reasoning to map an<br />

input space to an output space.<br />

fuzzy operators<br />

AND, OR, and NOT operators. These are also known as logical<br />

connectives.<br />

fuzzy set<br />

A set that can contain elements with only a partial degree of<br />

membership.<br />

fuzzy singleton<br />

A fuzzy set with a membership function that is unity at a one particular<br />

point and zero everywhere else.<br />

implication<br />

The process of shaping the fuzzy set in the consequent based on the<br />

results of the antecedent in a Mamdani-type FIS.<br />

Mamdani-type inference<br />

Atypeoffuzzyinferenceinwhichthefuzzysetsfromtheconsequent<br />

of each rule are combined through the aggregation operator and the<br />

resulting fuzzy set is defuzzified to yield the output of the system.<br />

membership function (MF)<br />

A function that specifies the degree to which a given input belongs to a<br />

set or is related to a concept.<br />

singleton output function<br />

An output function that is given by a spike at a single number rather<br />

than a continuous curve. In the <strong>Fuzzy</strong> <strong>Logic</strong> Toolbox software, it is only<br />

supported as part of a zero-order Sugeno model.<br />
