A Diagnostic Problem Solving Using Fuzzy Abductive Inference

Abstract

This paper proposes a new method to solve a diagnostic problem using fuzzy abductive inference. The fuzzy logic is applied to Peng and Reggia's abductive inference for handling degrees of manifestations. Application of the new method to a simple diagnostic problem is shown and the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the inferred results with those by the conventional fuzzy abduction.
