Role of Z Fuzzy Relation in Approximate Reasoning
Keywords:
Z fuzzy Relation, Z fuzzy if-then rules, Compositional rule of inference on z-numbers.Abstract
The development of Fuzzy sets were as a generalization of usual sets to take into account of uncertainty and vagueness which are in daily life. In 2011 Zadeh further extended the concept of z-numbers which model the ‘fuzziness’ of information and addition including reliability factor. An z-number is an ordered pair of fuzzy numbers where the first component gives the information and the second component deals with the reliability of information.Fuzzy relations have been well studied and they play a vital role in fuzzy logic. In this paper we extend the concept of fuzzy relation to Z fuzzy relation and show how z fuzzy if-then rules can be described. The generalized compositional rule of inference is also developed. It is applicable in theory of approximate reasoning, medical diagnosis etc.
