The ML community has largely discounted its use, and the current texts just mention it in passing. <br /><br />The point is to find a balanced comparison of Fuzzy and probabilistic methods. I know what you're thinking already -- so stop before you say it! I'm not advocating anything. Its just merits a careful comparison of what is lost by Fuzzy approximations and what the gain is, in simplicity. <br /><br />I'll have to go back to ``pre-wikipedia'' sources (e.g. books) to work this one out. http://bayesrules.livejournal.com/536.html reasoning probability hopeful public 0
