Abstract
ABSTRACT In most researches on fuzzy sets and its application, it is found that the consideration of membership function is predetermined and mostly linear in nature. Extraction and evaluation of non-linear fuzzy membership function that can update itself with in different paradigms is still a matter of great concern to researchers. Here, we discuss 33 different membership function evaluation methodologies published between 1971 and 2016. In a approach to solve the problem, this paper presents a novel algorithm based non-linear fuzzy membership function evaluation scheme with the help of regression analysis and algebra. Three different case studies are done to check the applicability and tractability of the method. A comparative analysis with recent literature justifies the robustness of the proposed method.
