title: Defuzzification using most typical values.
abstract: A new approach for the defuzzification process, based on the Most Typical Value (MTV) concept, is being introduced and investigated. It assumes that the single decision, based on the output fuzzy subset, should represent a typical value of this set, rather than a numerical "central tendency" of its elements. The MTV defuzzification method is compared with previous defuzzification procedures and its applicability is illustrated.
