Abstract

Fuzzy techniques have been successfully used in many applications. However, often, formulas for processing fuzzy information are often heuristic: they lack a convincing justification, and thus, users are sometimes reluctant to use them. In this paper, we show that we can justify (and sometimes even improve) these methods if we use a probability-based approach.
