| Summary: | A complete and monotonically-ordered fuzzy rule base
is necessary to maintain the monotonicity property of a Fuzzy
Inference System (FIS). In this paper, a new monotone fuzzy rule
relabeling technique to relabel a non-monotone fuzzy rule base
provided by domain experts is proposed. Even though the
Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based monotone fuzzy rule relabeling
technique has been investigated in our previous work [7], the
optimality of the approach could not be guaranteed. The new
fuzzy rule relabeling technique adopts a simple brute force
search, and it can produce an optimal result. We also formulate a
new two-stage framework that encompasses a GA-based rule
selection scheme, the optimization based-Similarity Reasoning
(SR) scheme, and the proposed monotone fuzzy rule relabeling
technique for preserving the monotonicity property of the FIS
model. Applicability of the two-stage framework to a real world
problem, i.e., failure mode and effect analysis, is further
demonstrated. The results clearly demonstrate the usefulness of
the proposed framework. |
