Fuzzy classification
Fuzzy classification is the process of grouping elements into fuzzy sets whose membership functions are defined by the truth value of a fuzzy propositional function. A fuzzy propositional function is analogous to an expression containing one or more variables, such that when values are assigned to these variables, the expression becomes a fuzzy proposition. Accordingly, fuzzy classification is the process of grouping individuals having the same characteristics into a fuzzy set. A fuzzy classification corresponds to a membership function \mu_{\tilde{C}} : \tilde{PF} \times U \to \tilde{T} that indicates the degree to which an individual i\in U is a member of the fuzzy class \tilde{C} , given its fuzzy classification predicate \tilde{\Pi}_{\tilde{C}} \in \tilde{PF} . Here, \tilde{T} is the set of fuzzy truth values, i.e., the unit interval [0,1] . The fuzzy classification predicate \tilde{\Pi} _{\tilde{C}}(i) corresponds to the fuzzy restriction " i is a member of \tilde{C} ".
