CalculateAmbiguityL {FuzzyResampling}

Calculation of the left-hand ambiguity for triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

Description

CalculateAmbiguityL returns the left-hand ambiguity of the triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy number (see, e.g., (Ban et al., 2015), (Grzegorzewski and Romaniuk, 2022)).

Usage

CalculateAmbiguityL(fuzzyNumber, increases = FALSE)

Arguments

fuzzyNumber

Input data consist of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.

increases

If TRUE is used, then the initial data should consist of the fuzzy numbers in the form: left increment of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core, right increment of the support. Otherwise, the default value FALSE is used and the fuzzy numbers should be given in the form: left end of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core, right end of the support.

Details

The input data should consist of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, given as a single vector or a whole matrix. In each row, there should be a single fuzzy number in one of the forms:

1. left end of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core, right end of the support, or

2. left increment of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core, right increment of the support.

In this second case, the parameter increases=TRUE has to be used.

Then for each fuzzy number, its characteristics, known as the left-hand ambiguity of fuzzy number, is calculated. For the respective formulas, see, e.g., (Ban et al., 2015), (Grzegorzewski and Romaniuk, 2022).

Value

This function returns vector of double values. Each output value is equal to the left-hand ambiguity of the respective fuzzy number.

fuzzyValuesInc <- matrix(c(0.25,0.5,1,0.25,0.25,1,1.5,0.7,1,0,0,2),
ncol = 4,byrow = TRUE)

# calculate the left-hand ambiguity of the first fuzzy number
