Abstract

We propose a new similarity measure based on relative membership function (RMF). In this paper, the RMF is suggested to represent the relativity between fuzzy subsets easily. Since the shape of the RMF is determined according to the values of its parameters, we can easily represent the relativity between fuzzy subsets by adjusting only the values of its parameters. Hence, we can easily reflect the relativity among individuals or cultural differences when we represent the subjectivity by using the fuzzy subsets. In this case, these parameters may be regarded as feature points for determining the structure of fuzzy subset. In the sequel, the degree of similarity between fuzzy subsets can be quickly computed by using the parameters of the RMF. We use Euclidean distance to compute the degree of similarity between fuzzy subsets represented by the RMF. In the meantime, we present a new linguistic approximation method as an application area of the proposed similarity measure and show its numerical example.

상대적 소속 함수(RMF)에 기반을 둔 새로운 유사성 측도를 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 RMF는 퍼지 부분 집합간의 상대성을 쉽게 나타내기 위해 제시되었다. 이러한 RMF의 형태는 매개변수값들에 따라 결정되기 때문에 매개변수 값들만을 조정해 줌으로써 퍼지 부분 집합간의 상대성을 쉽게 나타낼 수 있다. 그러므로 퍼지 부분 집합을 이용해 주관성을 표현할 때 개인이나 문화차이간의 상대성을 쉽게 반영해 줄수 있다. 이 경우이들 매개변수들은 퍼비 부분 집합의 구조를 결정해 주는 특징점들이라고 할수 있다. 결과적으로 퍼지 부분 집합간의 유사성 정도가 RMF의 매개변수들을 이용해서 빠르게 계산될 수 있다. RMF에 의해 퍼지 부분 집합간의 유사성 정도를 계산하기 위해 유클리디안 거리를 사용한다. 한편, 제안된 유사성 측도의 응용 분야로 새로운 언어 근사 방법을 제시하고 수치적인 예를 보여준다.
