Abstract
We consider the representation of data through linguistic variables characterized by means of attributes, eventually transformed by so-called modifiers. We study several fuzzy implications and combination operators used to define a generalized modus ponens in the case where observations are slightly different from the premise of rules of the knowledge base, but a conclusion is required. We compare the properties of these tools to provide indications on their behavior in different situations. We study the stability of particular modifiers when used to describe the difference between an observation and the fact involved in the antecedent of a rule.
