C++ Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic: Preface

Probability of a Fuzzy Event

At this point, we can calculate the probability for the fuzzy event A by using the takeover prices as the basis to

correspond the probabilities in the probability distribution and the degrees of membership in A. In other

words, the degrees of membership, 0.7, 1, and 0.5 are treated as having the probabilities 0.3, 0.5, and 0.2,

respectively. But we want the probability of the fuzzy event A, which we calculate as the expected degree of

membership under the probability distribution we are using.

Our calculation gives the following:

     0.7 x 0.3 + 1 x 0.5 + 0.5 x 0.2 = 0.21 + 0.5 + 0.1 = 0.81
