Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
receiving a plurality of first parameters for a first type-1 membership function (MF) that defines a first boundary of a footprint of uncertainty for an interval type-2 MF, wherein the interval type-2 MF is utilized by a fuzzy inference system that is executable in a computing environment, the fuzzy inference system included in an executable model where execution of the executable model executes the fuzzy inference system and generates results;
receiving at least one second parameter, wherein the at least one second parameter is utilized to transform the first type-1 MF;
generating, by a processor and based on a transformation of the first type-1 MF utilizing the at least one second parameter, a second type-1 MF,
wherein the second type-1 MF defines a second boundary of the footprint of uncertainty for the interval type-2 MF, and
wherein the first type-1 MF and the second type-1 MF has a geometrical relationship relative to each other; and

adjusting, by the processor, the plurality of first parameters of the first type-1 MF and the at least one second parameter to adjust the footprint of uncertainty of the fuzzy inference system included in the executable model, where the adjusting is performed without needing to consider the geometrical relationship and the adjusting automatically maintains the geometrical relationship between the first and second boundaries, and wherein the footprint of uncertainty is defined by a total number of parameters that is equal to the plurality of first parameters and the at least one second parameter.
