Remove output variable from fuzzy inference system

Description

example

fisOut = removeOutput(fisIn,outputName) removes the output variable with the name outputName from fuzzy inference system fisIn and returns the resulting fuzzy system in fisOut.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Fuzzy inference system, specified as one of the following:

  • mamfis object — Mamdani fuzzy inference system

  • sugfis object — Sugeno fuzzy inference system

  • mamfistype2 object — Type-2 Mamdani fuzzy inference system (since R2019b)

  • sugfistype2 object — Type-2 Sugeno fuzzy inference system (since R2019b)

Output variable name, specified as a string or character vector.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Updated fuzzy inference system, returned as one of the following objects.

  • mamfis object — Mamdani fuzzy inference system

  • sugfis object — Sugeno fuzzy inference system

  • mamfistype2 object — Type-2 Mamdani fuzzy inference system

  • sugfistype2 object — Type-2 Sugeno fuzzy inference system

fisOut has the same properties as fisIn except:

  • The input variable with the specified name is removed.

  • The specified input variable is removed from any fuzzy rules. If a rule has only the specified input variable in its antecedent, then the entire rule is removed. If a rule has more than one input variable in its antecedent, then the specified input variable is removed from the antecedent.

Introduced in R2018b
