Uncertain Rule-Based Fuzzy Logic Systems

Type-2 fuzzy logic: Breakthrough techniques for modeling uncertainty Key applications: digital mobile communications, computer networking, and video traffic classification Detailed case studies: Forecasting time series and knowledge mining Contains 90+ worked examples, 110+ figures, and brief introductory primers on fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets Breakthrough fuzzy logic techniques for handling real-world uncertainty. The world is full of uncertainty that classical fuzzy logic can`t model. Now, however, there`s an approach to fuzzy logic that can model uncertainty: type-2 fuzzy logic. In this book, the developer of type-2 fuzzy logic demonstrates how it overcomes the limitations of classical fuzzy logic, enabling a wide range of applications from digital mobile communications to knowledge mining. Dr. Jerry Mendel presents a bottom-up approach that begins by introducing traditional type-1 fuzzy logic, explains how it can be modified to handle uncertainty, and, finally, adds layers of complexity to handle increasingly sophisticated applications. Coverage includes: The sources of uncertainty and the role of membership functions Type-2 fuzzy sets: operations, properties, and centroids Singleton, non-singleton, and TSK Type 2 fuzzy logic systems Comparing type-2 and type 1 results Extensive applications coverage: digital mobile communications, computer networking, and video traffic classification Two start-to-finish case studies: Forecasting time series and knowledge mining Carefully balanced between theory and design, the book contains over 90 worked examples and more than 110 figures. It is ideal for engineers, scientists, computer science researchers, and mathematicians interested in AI, rule-based systems, and modeling uncertainty.
