Fuzzy Rule
Verb: fuzzyRule
Available from: <Enterprise>
Defines a fuzzy rule for inference in a fuzzy logic system, returning an output according to a Condition.
Syntax
fuzzyRule --name(String) --condition(Fuzzy) --variable(Fuzzy) --set(FuzzySet)
Inputs
| Script | Designer | Required | AcceptedTypes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| --name | Rule name | Required | Text | Name of the rule that should be defined. |
| --condition | Condition | Required | Fuzzy, Fuzzy Set | Text that concatenates variables and AND, OR, and NOT logical operators to define the rule.
The IF instantiator is not required for the rule construction |
| --variable | Fuzzy variable | Required | Fuzzy | Fuzzy variable where the solution set is stored in during fuzzy inference. |
| --set | Fuzzy set | Required | Fuzzy Set | Defines the fuzzy set that should be part of the Fuzzy variable's solution set during fuzzy inference. |
Example
A fuzzy logic set is initiated using the Begin Fuzzy command, with Intervals = 1000. The Fuzzy Rule command creates fuzzy logic to measure the quality of a restaurant's service. The End Fuzzy command terminates the set.

Remarks
In the Rule name parameter, names must be unique among the defined rules.
The Begin Fuzzy command starts the fuzzy logic set, and the End Fuzzy command terminates it.
