Fig. Q1 shows an aggregation of 3 membership functions into a single output fuzzy set.

Use the
centroid defuzzification method to find an estimate crisp output.

Fig. Q1: Fuzzy set aggregate

The Crisp value is given by:

z =

B ( z ) . zdz
B ( z ) dz

Where the line equations are given as;

2=0.3, 4 =0.5, 6=1.0

From

y=mx +b

1=m 1 z +b where m1=

=0.3, =0.3 z +b , for ( 0,0 ) , b=0

The zi values will be given by;

z 0=0, z1 =1, z 3=4, z 5=6, z 6=7 z 7=8
