Fuzzy Logic and Probability Applications: Bridging the Gap

Probabilists and fuzzy enthusiasts tend to disagree about which philosophy is best and they rarely work together. As a result, textbooks usually give one method of solving problems or the other, not both. This book is an exception. The authors, investigators from both fields, have combined their talents to provide a practical guide that shows that both fuzzy logic and probability have their place in the world of problem solving. They work together with mutual benefit for both disciplines, providing scientists and engineers with examples and insight into the best tool to use for solving problems involving uncertainty and/or probability. They even demonstrate useful combinations of the two techniques!
