Tr {Fuzzy.p.value}

Class of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

Description

Several linear functions are constructed in this package for easily inspiration to the fuzzy concepts \ll approximately smaller \gg , \ll approximately bigger \gg and \ll approximately equal \gg. For example, function Tr is one of them which users can use it to construct the fuzzy concept \ll approximately equal \gg for fuzzy statistics or fuzzy hypotheses. As presented bellow, the membership function of fuzzy set Tr has four parameters a, b, c and d:

Tr(a,b,c,d)(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{lcc} \frac{x-a}{b-a} &\ \ if & \ \ a < x \leq b \\ 1 &\ \ if & \ \ b < x \leq c \\ \frac{x-d}{c-d} &\ \ if & \ \ c < x \leq d \\ 0 &\ \ if & \ \ elsewhere \end{array} \right.

Usage

Tr(a, b, c, d)

Arguments

a

Considering the introduced above membership function, the first parameter is the first point of the support of trapezoidal fuzzy number.

b

The second parameter is the first point of the core of trapezoidal fuzzy number.

c

The third parameter is the end point of the core of trapezoidal fuzzy number.

d

The fourth parameter is the end point of the support of trapezoidal fuzzy number.

Value

This function easily introduce the membership function of a trapezoidal fuzzy number.
