Abstract
An important and difficult issue in designing a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is the specification of fuzzy sets, and fuzzy rules. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how an additional qualitative information, i.e., monotonicity property, can be exploited and extended to be part of an FIS designing procedure (i.e., fuzzy sets and fuzzy rules design). In this paper, the FIS is employed as an alternative to the use of addition in aggregating the scores from test items/tasks in a Criterion-Referenced Assessment (CRA) model. In order to preserve the monotonicity property, the sufficient conditions of the FIS is proposed. Our proposed FIS based CRA procedure can be viewed as an enhancement for the FIS based CRA procedure, where monotonicity property is preserved. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach with a case study related to a laboratory project assessment task at a university, and the results indicate the usefulness of the proposed approach in the CRA domain.
