The concept of fuzzy sets is one of the most fundamental and influential tools in computational intelligence. Fuzzy sets can provide solutions to a broad range of problems of control, pattern classification, reasoning, planning, and computer vision. This book bridges the gap that has developed between theory and practice. The authors explain what fuzzy sets are, why they work, when theyshould be used (and when they shouldn't), and how to design systems using them.The authors take an unusual top-down approach to the design of detailed algorithms. They begin with illustrative examples, explain the fundamental theory and design methodologies, and then present more-advanced case studies dealing with practical tasks. While they use mathematics to introduce concepts, they ground thThis book aims to bridge the gap between developed theory and practice in fuzzy sets. The authors explain what fuzzy sets are, why they work, when they should be used (and when they shouldn't), and how to design systems using them.
