A Measure of Structural Complexity of Hierarchical Fuzzy Systems Adapted from Software Engineering

Hierarchical fuzzy systems (HFSs) have been seen as an effective approach to reduce the complexity of fuzzy logic systems (FLSs), largely as a result of reducing the number of rules. However, it is not clear completely how complexity of HFSs can be measured. In FLSs, complexity is commonly expressed using a multi-factorial approach, taking into consideration the number of rules, variables, and fuzzy terms. However, this may not be the best way...
