Fuzzy Classification
Fuzzy classification is the process of grouping elements into fuzzy sets whose membership functions are defined by the truth value of a fuzzy propositional function. A fuzzy propositional function is analogous toRussel, B. (1919). ''Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy''. London: George Allen & Unwin, Ltd., S. 155 an expression containing one or more variables, such that when values are assigned to these variables, the expression becomes a fuzzy proposition.Zadeh, L. A. (1975). Calculus of fuzzy restrictions. In L. A. Zadeh, K.-S. Fu, K. Tanaka, & M. Shimura (Hrsg.), Fuzzy sets and Their Applications to Cognitive and Decision Processes. New York: Academic Press. Accordingly, fuzzy classification is the process of grouping individuals having the same characteristics into a fuzzy set. A fuzzy classification corresponds to a membership function \mu_ : \tilde \times U \to \tilde that indicates the degree to which an individual i\in U is a member of the fuzzy class \tilde, given its ...

Membership Function
In mathematics, an indicator function or a characteristic function of a subset of a set is a function that maps elements of the subset to one, and all other elements to zero. That is, if is a subset of some set , then the indicator function of is the function \mathbf_A defined by \mathbf_\!(x) = 1 if x \in A, and \mathbf_\!(x) = 0 otherwise. Other common notations are and \chi_A. The indicator function of is the Iverson bracket of the property of belonging to ; that is, \mathbf_(x) = \left x\in A\ \right For example, the Dirichlet function is the indicator function of the rational numbers as a subset of the real numbers. Definition Given an arbitrary set , the indicator function of a subset of is the function \mathbf_A \colon X \mapsto \ defined by \operatorname\mathbf_A\!( x ) = \begin 1 & \text x \in A \\ 0 & \text x \notin A \,. \end The Iverson bracket provides the equivalent notation \left x\in A\ \right/math> or that can be used instead of \mathbf_\!(x).

Truth Value
In logic and mathematics, a truth value, sometimes called a logical value, is a value indicating the relation of a proposition to truth, which in classical logic has only two possible values ('' true'' or '' false''). Truth values are used in computing as well as various types of logic. Computing In some programming languages, any expression can be evaluated in a context that expects a Boolean data type. Typically (though this varies by programming language) expressions like the number zero, the empty string, empty lists, and null are treated as false, and strings with content (like "abc"), other numbers, and objects evaluate to true. Sometimes these classes of expressions are called falsy and truthy. For example, in Lisp, nil, the empty list, is treated as false, and all other values are treated as true. In C, the number 0 or 0.0 is false, and all other values are treated as true. In JavaScript, the empty string (""), null, undefined, NaN, +0, −0 and false are ...

Propositional Function
In propositional calculus, a propositional function or a predicate is a sentence expressed in a way that would assume the value of true or false, except that within the sentence there is a variable (''x'') that is not defined or specified (thus being a free variable), which leaves the statement undetermined. The sentence may contain several such variables (e.g. ''n'' variables, in which case the function takes ''n'' arguments). Overview As a mathematical function, ''A''(''x'') or ''A''(''x'', ''x'', ..., ''x''), the propositional function is abstracted from predicates or propositional forms. As an example, consider the predicate scheme, "x is hot". The substitution of any entity for ''x'' will produce a specific proposition that can be described as either true or false, even though "''x'' is hot" on its own has no value as either a true or false statement. However, when a value is assigned to ''x'', such as lava, the function then has the value ''true''; while one assigns to '' ...

Expression (mathematics)
In mathematics, an expression is a written arrangement of symbol (mathematics), symbols following the context-dependent, syntax (logic), syntactic conventions of mathematical notation. Symbols can denote numbers, variable (mathematics), variables, operation (mathematics), operations, and function (mathematics), functions. Other symbols include punctuation marks and bracket (mathematics), brackets, used for Symbols of grouping, grouping where there is not a well-defined order of operations. Expressions are commonly distinguished from ''mathematical formula, formulas'': expressions are a kind of mathematical object, whereas formulas are statements ''about'' mathematical objects. This is analogous to natural language, where a noun phrase refers to an object, and a whole Sentence (linguistics), sentence refers to a fact. For example, 8x-5 is an expression, while the Inequality (mathematics), inequality 8x-5 \geq 3 is a formula. To ''evaluate'' an expression means to find a numeric ...

Proposition (logic)
A proposition is a statement that can be either true or false. It is a central concept in the philosophy of language, semantics, logic, and related fields. Propositions are the object s denoted by declarative sentences; for example, "The sky is blue" expresses the proposition that the sky is blue. Unlike sentences, propositions are not linguistic expressions, so the English sentence "Snow is white" and the German "Schnee ist weiß" denote the same proposition. Propositions also serve as the objects of belief and other propositional attitudes, such as when someone believes that the sky is blue. Formally, propositions are often modeled as functions which map a possible world to a truth value. For instance, the proposition that the sky is blue can be modeled as a function which would return the truth value T if given the actual world as input, but would return F if given some alternate world where the sky is green. However, a number of alternative formalizations have been pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Predicate (mathematical Logic)
In logic, a predicate is a symbol that represents a property or a relation. For instance, in the first-order formula P(a), the symbol P is a predicate that applies to the individual constant a. Similarly, in the formula R(a,b), the symbol R is a predicate that applies to the individual constants a and b. According to Gottlob Frege, the meaning of a predicate is exactly a function from the domain of objects to the truth values "true" and "false". In the semantics of logic, predicates are interpreted as relations. For instance, in a standard semantics for first-order logic, the formula R(a,b) would be true on an interpretation if the entities denoted by a and b stand in the relation denoted by R. Since predicates are non-logical symbols, they can denote different relations depending on the interpretation given to them. While first-order logic only includes predicates that apply to individual objects, other logics may allow predicates that apply to collections of objects defin ...

Unit Interval
In mathematics, the unit interval is the closed interval , that is, the set of all real numbers that are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. It is often denoted ' (capital letter ). In addition to its role in real analysis, the unit interval is used to study homotopy theory in the field of topology. In the literature, the term "unit interval" is sometimes applied to the other shapes that an interval from 0 to 1 could take: , , and . However, the notation ' is most commonly reserved for the closed interval . Properties The unit interval is a complete metric space, homeomorphic to the extended real number line. As a topological space, it is compact, contractible, path connected and locally path connected. The Hilbert cube is obtained by taking a topological product of countably many copies of the unit interval. In mathematical analysis, the unit interval is a one-dimensional analytical manifold whose boundary consists of the two points 0 and 1 ...

Class Logic
Class logic is a logic in its broad sense, whose objects are called classes. In a narrower sense, one speaks of a class logic only if classes are described by a property of their elements. This class logic is thus a generalization of set theory, which allows only a limited consideration of classes. Class logic in the strict sense The first class logic in the strict sense was created by Giuseppe Peano in 1889 as the basis for his arithmetic (Peano Axioms). He introduced the class term, which formally correctly describes classes through a property of their elements. Today the class term is denoted in the form , where A(x) is an arbitrary statement, which all class members x meet. Peano axiomatized the class term for the first time and used it fully. Gottlob Frege also tried establishing the arithmetic logic with class terms in 1893; Bertrand Russell discovered a conflict in it in 1902 which became known as Russell's paradox. As a result, it became generally known that you can not saf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth value of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false. By contrast, in Boolean algebra, Boolean logic, the truth values of variables may only be the integer values 0 or 1. The term ''fuzzy logic'' was introduced with the 1965 proposal of fuzzy set theory by mathematician Lotfi A. Zadeh, Lotfi Zadeh. Fuzzy logic had, however, been studied since the 1920s, as Łukasiewicz logic, infinite-valued logic—notably by Jan Łukasiewicz, Łukasiewicz and Alfred Tarski, Tarski. Fuzzy logic is based on the observation that people make decisions based on imprecise and non-numerical information. Fuzzy models or fuzzy sets are mathematical means of representing vagueness and imprecise information (hence the term fuzzy). These models have the capability of recognising, representing, manipulating, in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
