Constructing membership functions using statistical data. (English) Zbl 0617.94017
The authors present a guideline to construct the membership functions for fuzzy sets whose elements have a defining feature with a known probability density function in the universe of discourse. The method finds the smallest fuzzy set which assigns high average membership values to those objects with the defining features distributed according to the given density function.
