Abstract

By ''fusion'' this work means integration of disparate types of data including (intervals of) real numbers as well as possibility/probability distributions defined over the totally-ordered lattice (R,=[0,1] result in the Cartesian product lattice (F^N,@?) towards decision-making based on reasoning. In conclusion, the space (F^N,@?) emerges as a formal framework for the development of hybrid intelligent fusion systems/schemes. A fuzzy lattice reasoning (FLR) ensemble scheme, namely FLR pairwise ensemble, or FLRpe for short, is introduced here for sound decision-making based on descriptive knowledge (rules). Advantages include the sensible employment of a sparse rule base, employment of granular input data (to cope with imprecision/uncertainty/vagueness), and employment of all-order data statistics. The advantages as well as the performance of our proposed techniques are demonstrated, comparatively, by computer simulation experiments regarding an industrial dispensing application.
