Zadeh in 1965 as an extension of classical (crisp) set theory. Unlike classical sets, which define membership in binary terms (an element either belongs to a set or does not), fuzzy sets allow for degrees of membership, representing the idea that elements can belong to a set to varying degrees between 0 and 1. This concept of "fuzziness" is particularly useful in dealing with uncertainties and vagueness in real-world applications. -6. **Limited Support for Real-Time Processing:** - - Pig is primarily designed for batch processing and may not be the optimal choice for real-time data processing requirements.

However, it comes with limitations, particularly in terms of control over execution and potential performance overhead. The choice of whether to use Pig depends on factors such as the specific requirements of the data processing task, the expertise of the users, and the trade-offs between ease of use and control over execution. +1. **Membership Function:** + The membership function is a crucial element of a fuzzy set, defining the degree to which an element belongs to the set. The function maps each element from the universal set to a value between 0 and 1, indicating the degree of membership. + Example: + - \( \mu_A(x) = 0.8 \) (Element \(x\) belongs to fuzzy set \(A\) with a degree of membership 0.8) +2. **Support and Core:** + - **Support:** The support of a fuzzy set is the set of elements with a non-zero degree of membership. It represents the range of elements that are considered at least partially part of the set. + - **Core:** The core of a fuzzy set consists of elements with a membership degree equal to 1. These are the elements that definitely belong to the set. +3. **Fuzzy Operations:** + Fuzzy sets support operations similar to those in classical set theory, but with modifications to accommodate degrees of membership. + - **Union (\(\cup\)):** \( \mu_{A \cup B}(x) = \max(\mu_A(x), \mu_B(x)) \) + - **Intersection (\(\cap\)):** \( \mu_{A \cap B}(x) = \min(\mu_A(x), \mu_B(x)) \) + - **Complement (\(\sim A\)):** \( \mu_{\sim A}(x) = 1 - \mu_A(x) \) +4. **Fuzzy Relations:** + Fuzzy sets can be extended to represent relationships between elements. A fuzzy relation associates degrees of membership with pairs of elements from two sets. + Example: + - \( R = \{(x, y, \mu_R(x, y))\} \) (Relation \(R\) between sets \(X\) and \(Y\) with degrees of membership) +5. **Fuzzy Logic:** + Fuzzy logic extends classical logic by allowing degrees of truth between 0 and 1.
