Abstract

In this paper, a recall of the similarity-based view of interpolative reasoning considered as an analogical scheme of reasoning introduced by Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier and her colleagues. Based on this, an extension of this replacement is presented that finely corrects the validity by choosing a similar observation that non only guarantees convexity, but also a gradual behaviour with respect to a specifity measure.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A very restrictive version of fuzzy decision base rules, however, it enables us to lighten the notations and focus only on the important properties we want to highlight.

  2. 2.

    Any approach used to defuzzify a fuzzy set (for instance, those used in fuzzy control) can be used to define the location of a fuzzy set. In particular, some approaches could be used in case of non-triangular or non-trapezoidal fuzzy sets.
