Hello

I'm rather newbye about fuzzy but I can try to give any answer.

As far as my experiments were right I observed that :

- max-min inference gives smoother ouputs than max-prod

- the choice of defuzzyfication method is also very important : "momentum"
defuzzyfication is smoother than "max" defuzzification

- about fuzzy set structure : joker !

My conclusion is that :

- (max-min inference, momentum defuzzyfication) is better for expert systems
where vagueness
and incertitude are very important

- (max-prod inference, max defuzzyfication) is better for process control in
order to get fast responses to environnement evolutions

Hope this helps you (even a little)
