Abstract

For an input value, conformity grades are computed and are displayed for established membership functions. Alternatively, conformity grades and change rates thereof developed when a fuzzy reasoning system is operated are displayed. Alternatively, a change with respect to time of the input value is displayed to be superimposed onto a table representing the established rules. Alternatively, an output value resultant from a fuzzy reasoning conducted with a particular rule removed is compared with a fuzzy reasoning achieved by using all rules, thereby displaying the difference on a rule table. As above, various features in the fuzzy reasoning are extracted and are displayed so as to check adequacy of the established membership functions and rules.
