Begin Fuzzy

Verb: beginFuzzy

Available from: <Enterprise>

Begins a fuzzy logic set and defines the precision range to work with.

Syntax

beginFuzzy --intervals(Numeric)

Inputs

Script Designer Required AcceptedTypes Description
--intervals Intervals Required Number Range of solution-set elements that are considered when calculating the center of mass function, which results in a crisp value.

Example

The Begin Fuzzy command begins a fuzzy logic set with Intervals = 1000. Creates fuzzy logic to measure the quality of a restaurant's service. The End Fuzzy command terminates the set.
