Fuzzy modeling Membership functions

Within the syntopy model outlined above, the generalization of point symmetry is achieved by considering the symmetry resemblance of actual molecular arrangements to those of some ideal symmetry. In principle, any one of the similarity measures and symmetry deficiency measures discussed in the previous chapters is suitable to serve as parameter in the definition of fuzzy syntopy membership functions, leading to further generalization of syntopy. 

In neurofuzzy systems, the modeling capabilities are determined by the number, shape, and distribution of the fuzzy input membership functions. The correct... 

A fuzzy set generalization of nuclear point symmetry in terms of these two syntopy models is applicable to all nuclear arrangements. Using appropriate membership functions, syntopy provides a measure of symmetry resemblance of actual, general nuclear configurations to ideal, fully symmetric nuclear configurations. 

The architecture of an ANFIS model is shown in Figure 14.4. As can be seen, the proposed neuro-fuzzy model in ANFIS is a multilayer neural network-based fuzzy system, which has a total of five layers. The input (layer 1) and output (layer 5) nodes represent the descriptors and the response, respectively. Layer 2 is the fuzzification layer in which each node represents a membership. In the hidden layers, there are nodes functioning as membership functions (MFs) and rules. This eliminates the disadvantage of a normal NN, which is difficult for an observer to understand or to modify. The detailed description of ANFIS architecture is given elsewhere (31). 

Figure 6 shows a structure of applying fuzzy logic in control. First, two types of inputs must be obtained numerical inputs and human knowledge or rule extraction from data (i.e., fuzzy rules). Then the numerical inputs must be fuzzified into fuzzy numbers. The fuzzy rules consist of the fuzzy membership functions (knowledge model) or so-called fuzzy associative memories (FAMs). Then the... 

One of the biggest differences between conventional (crisp) and fuzzy sets is that every crisp set always has a unique membership function, whereas every fuzzy set has an infinite number of membership functions that may represent it. This is at once both a drawback and advantage uniqueness is sacrificed, but this gives a concomitant gain in terms of flexibility, enabling fuzzy models to be adjusted for maximum utility in a given situation. 

The meaning of the application of fuzzy models in risk analysis is to provide mathematical formulations that could characterize the uncertain parameters involved in complex safety evaluation me ods. Fuzzy logic is a decisional system based on linguistic rules once the membership functions have been defined for all the fuzzy variable sets, each set has to be connect by... 

In the first step of fuzzy control model, the incoming and outcome variable are approximated within the input values. The input values do not have to be completed and they can be different than cardinal. Based on input values, a membership function is built for every variable. Thus the results of the first step in the fuzzy control model are membership functions of the variables. The elaboration of the membership function is the main disadvantage of the fuzzy control model in... 

The Figure 3 shows the example of Training fuzzy model using the three hsted above fuzzy variables as inputs. The Table 2 presents the trapezoidal membership functions parameters (a,b,c,d) of input variables while the trapezoidal membership functions parameters of output variable are shown in Table 3. 

The evaluation is made by two experts El and E2. Each expert assesses the risk analysis result in a fuzzy way. It was assumed that the adopted Fuzzy Risk Model (FRM) the membership functions take the form ... 

The fuzzy model generation can be done using file F2811A.m. The membership functions for the flow rate and substrate conversion are shown in Fig. 28.12. 

The number of parameters in the fuzzy sub-models is quite large. One rule of the fuzzy model for the net growth rate, for example, contains about 10 parameters, depending on the type of membership function that is used. Owing to the curse of dimensionahty the number of parameters increases exponentially for systems with higher dimensions. Therefore, only the consequence parameters have been optimized.
