combination_GRFN {evreg}

Combination of Gaussian random fuzzy numbers

Description

combination_GRFN combines two Gaussian random fuzzy numbers using the generalized product-intersection rule with soft or hard normalization.

Usage

combination_GRFN(GRFN1, GRFN2, soft = TRUE)

Arguments

GRFN1

A Gaussian random fuzzy number, encoded as a list with components mu, sig and h.

GRFN2

A Gaussian random fuzzy number, encoded as a list with components mu, sig and h.

soft

If TRUE (default), the combination rule with soft normalization is used. Otherwise, hard normalization is employed.

Value

A list with two components:

GRFN

The combined Gaussian random fuzzy number, encoded as a list with components mu, sig and h.

conflict

The degree of conflict (equal to 0 if soft==FALSE).
