Fuzzy Linguistic Scales: Definition, Properties and Applications

  • Chapter
Soft Computing in Measurement and Information Acquisition

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 127))

Abstract

This paper studies the mathematical aspects of a formalized description of the humans acting as measuring devices. It is assumed that the person describes the real object properties in the form of linguistic values. The subjective degree of convenience of such a description depends on the selection and the composition of such linguistic values.
