Continuous Fuzzy Sets

For the present, at least, pyPRUF doesn't provide a complete implementation of ContinuousFuzzySet, we're still working on it 😉! Despite this, some facilities have still been implemented but their implementations are still temporary so their use is strongly discouraged for complex, large, commercial and enterprise systems. For small or sperimental applications, feel free to use it. Keep in mind that the implementations of ContinuousFuzzySet and membership_functions module may change very quickly so don't rely too much on them.

The module fuzzy_set provide a temporary implementation of the class ContinuousFuzzySet. ContinuousFuzzySet are defined as all those fuzzy sets whose domain or part of the domain is a nonnumerable and, therefore, a continuous set. They can be represented only by their domain and by their membership function which returns the membership degree of an element in its domain. Specifying the domain is required in order to be compatible with the fuzzy relational algebra operators of DiscreteFuzzySet. This is a reasonable starting assumption to develop a useful ContinuousFuzzySet class. The idea is to use both DiscreteFuzzySet and ContinuousFuzzySet in combination to get the most out of this library. At the moment, however, only a temporary implementation of ContinuousFuzzySet.__init__, ContinuousFuzzySet.__getitem__ and ContinuousFuzzySet.rename_domain methods are provided by pyPRUF. Please read the API docs for more info.

The module membership_functions provides a base abstract class MembershipFunction which serves as the foundational class for all ContinuousFuzzySet membership functions. Please read the API docs for more info.
