اسلاید 3: 3Mamdani Fuzzy InferenceThe most commonly used fuzzy inference technique is the so-called Mamdani method.In 1975, Professor Ebrahim Mamdani of London University built one of the first fuzzy systems to control a steam engine and boiler combination. He applied a set of fuzzy rules supplied by experienced human operators.The Mamdani-style fuzzy inference process is performed in four steps:Fuzzification of the input variablesRule evaluation (inference)Aggregation of the rule outputs (composition)Defuzzification.

اسلاید 4: 4Mamdani Fuzzy InferenceWe examine a simple two-input one-output problem that includes three rules:Rule: 1IF x is A3 ORy is B1 THENz is C1 Rule: 2IF x is A2 AND y is B2 THENz is C2 Rule: 3IF x is A1 THENz is C3 Real-life example for these kinds of rules:Rule: 1IF project_funding is adequate OR project_staffing is small THEN risk is low Rule: 2IF project_funding is marginal AND project_staffing is large THEN risk is normal Rule: 3IF project_funding is inadequate THEN risk is high

اسلاید 5: 5Step 1: FuzzificationThe first step is to take the crisp inputs, x1 and y1 (project funding and project staffing), and determine the degree to which these inputs belong to each of the appropriate fuzzy sets.

اسلاید 6: 6Step 2: Rule EvaluationThe second step is to take the fuzzified inputs, (x=A1) = 0.5, (x=A2) = 0.2, (y=B1) = 0.1 and (y=B2) = 0.7,and apply them to the antecedents of the fuzzy rules.If a given fuzzy rule has multiple antecedents, the fuzzy operator (AND or OR) is used to obtain a single number that represents the result of the antecedent evaluation.RECALL: To evaluate the disjunction of the rule antecedents, we use the OR fuzzy operation. Typically, fuzzy expert systems make use of the classical fuzzy operation union:AB(x) = max [A(x), B(x)]Similarly, in order to evaluate the conjunction of the rule antecedents, we apply the AND fuzzy operation intersection:AB(x) = min [A(x), B(x)]

اسلاید 8: 8Step 2: Rule EvaluationNow the result of the antecedent evaluation can be applied to the membership function of the consequent.The most common method is to cut the consequent membership function at the level of the antecedent truth. This method is called clipping (alpha-cut).Since the top of the membership function is sliced, the clipped fuzzy set loses some information.However, clipping is still often preferred because it involves less complex and faster mathematics, and generates an aggregated output surface that is easier to defuzzify.While clipping is a frequently used method, scaling offers a better approach for preserving the original shape of the fuzzy set.The original membership function of the rule consequent is adjusted by multiplying all its membership degrees by the truth value of the rule antecedent.This method, which generally loses less information, can be very useful in fuzzy expert systems.clippingDegree ofMembership1.00.00.2ZC2scalingDegree ofMembershipZ1.00.00.2C2

اسلاید 9: 9Step 3: Aggregation of the Rule OutputsAggregation is the process of unification of the outputs of all rules.We take the membership functions of all rule consequents previously clipped or scaled and combine them into a single fuzzy set. The input of the aggregation process is the list of clipped or scaled consequent membership functions, and the output is one fuzzy set for each output variable.

اسلاید 10: 10Step 4: DefuzzificationThe last step in the fuzzy inference process is defuzzification.Fuzziness helps us to evaluate the rules, but the final output of a fuzzy system has to be a crisp number.The input for the defuzzification process is the aggregate output fuzzy set and the output is a single number.There are several defuzzification methods, but probably the most popular one is the centroid technique. It finds the point where a vertical line would slice the aggregate set into two equal masses. Mathematically this centre of gravity (COG) can be expressed as:

اسلاید 11: 11Centroid defuzzification method finds a point representing the centre of gravity of the aggregated fuzzy set A, on the interval [a, b ].A reasonable estimate can be obtained by calculating it over a sample of points.Step 4: Defuzzification

اسلاید 12: 12Sugeno Fuzzy InferenceMamdani-style inference, as we have just seen, requires us to find the centroid of a two-dimensional shape by integrating across a continuously varying function. In general, this process is not computationally efficient.Michio Sugeno suggested to use a single spike, a singleton, as the membership function of the rule consequent.A singleton, or more precisely a fuzzy singleton, is a fuzzy set with a membership function that is unity at a single particular point on the universe of discourse and zero everywhere else.

اسلاید 13: 13Sugeno Fuzzy InferenceSugeno-style fuzzy inference is very similar to the Mamdani method.Sugeno changed only a rule consequent: instead of a fuzzy set, he used a mathematical function of the input variable. The format of the Sugeno-style fuzzy rule isIFx is AANDy is BTHENz is f(x, y)where:x, y and z are linguistic variables;A and B are fuzzy sets on universe of discourses X and Y, respectively; f (x, y) is a mathematical function.The most commonly used zero-order Sugeno fuzzy model applies fuzzy rules in the following form:IFx is AANDy is BTHENz is kwhere k is a constant.In this case, the output of each fuzzy rule is constant and all consequent membership functions are represented by singleton spikes.

اسلاید 16: 16Mamdani or Sugeno?Mamdani method is widely accepted for capturing expert knowledge. It allows us to describe the expertise in more intuitive, more human-like manner. However, Mamdani-type fuzzy inference entails a substantial computational burden.On the other hand, Sugeno method is computationally effective and works well with optimization and adaptive techniques, which makes it very attractive in control problems, particularly for dynamic nonlinear systems.
