Defuzzification
Soft Computing DEFUZZIFICATION TO CRISP SETS
• For fuzzy set A∼, define a lambda-cut set, Aλ,
where 0 ≤ λ ≤ 1.
• The set Aλ is a crisp set called the lambda (λ)-
cut (or alpha-cut) set of the fuzzy set A∼ • Any particular fuzzy set A∼can be transformed into an infinite number of λ-cut sets, because there are an infinite number of values λ on the interval [0, 1]. • The quantity λ = 0+ is defined as a small ‘‘ε’’ value >0, i.e., a value just greater than zero. • By definition, λ = 0 produces the universe X, since all elements in the universe have at least a 0 membership value in any set on the universe. • Properties of λ-cut sets • λ-CUTS FOR FUZZY RELATIONS • DEFUZZIFICATION TO SCALARS
• Defuzzification is the conversion of a fuzzy
quantity to a precise quantity, just as fuzzification is the conversion of a precise quantity to a fuzzy quantity. • The output of a fuzzy process can be the logical union of two or more fuzzy membership functions defined on the universe of discourse of the output variable. 1. Max membership principle 2. Centroid method 3. Weighted average method: 4. Mean max membership 5. Center of sums 6. Center of largest area 7. First (or last) of maxima: • Max membership principle:Also known as the height method, this scheme is limited to peaked output functions. • Centroid method: This procedure (also called center of area, center of gravity) is the most prevalent and physically appealing of all the defuzzification methods [Sugeno,1985; Lee, 1990]; • it is given by the algebraic expression • Weighted average method: The weighted average method is the most frequently used in fuzzy applications since it is one of the more computationally efficient methods. • it is usually restricted to symmetrical output membership functions. • It is given by the algebraic expression • Mean max membership: This method (also called middle-of-maxima) is closely related to the first method, except that the locations of the maximum membership can be nonunique (i.e., the maximum membership can be a plateau rather than a single point). • This method is given by the expression • Center of sums: This is faster than many defuzzification methods that are presently in use, and the method is not restricted to symmetric membership functions. • This process involves the algebraic sum of individual output fuzzy sets, instead of their union. • Two drawbacks to this method are that the intersecting areas are added twice, and the method also involves finding the centroids of the individual membership functions • Center of largest area: If the output fuzzy set has at least two convex sub regions, then the center of gravity (i.e., z∗ is calculated using the centroid method, )of the convex fuzzy subregion with the largest area is used to obtain the defuzzified value. • First (or last) of maxima: This method uses the overall output or union of all individual output fuzzy sets to determine the smallest value of the domain with maximized membership degree in C∼k. The equations for z∗ are as follows. • supremum (sup) is the least upper bound and the infimum (inf) is the greatest lower bound.
