Estimation of Fuzzy Measures Using Covariance Matrices in Gaussian Mixtures by Nishchal K. Verma

“…The mixture components of GMM provide the membership functions for the input-output fuzzy sets. By treating consequent part as a function of fuzzy measures, we derived its coefficients from the covariance matrices found directly from GMM and the defuzzified output constructed from both the premise and consequent parts of the nonadditive fuzzy rules that takes the form of Choquet integral. …”
