- All Implemented Interfaces:
- GPTool
public class FuzzyMembership
- extends AbstractGPTool
Scales input raster data into values ranging from zero to one, indicating the strength of a membership in a set.
The Fuzzy Membership tool is contained in the Spatial Analyst Tools tool box.
Usage tips:
- This tool does not scale categorical data. To include categorical data into fuzzy overlay analysis, a preprocessing step is necessary. You can create a model or run the following geoprocessing tools. Use the tool to provide a new range of values based on suitability of each group (for example 1–100). Subsequently, by a factor (floating point) to normalize the output between 0.0 to 1.0.
- Spread determines how rapidly the fuzzy membership values
decrease from one to zero. The larger the value the steeper the
fuzzification around the midpoint, or as the spread gets smaller, the fuzzy memberships approach zero more slowly. The selection of the appropriate spread value is a subjective process that is dependent on the range of the crisp values. For Gaussian and Near, the
default value of 0.1 is a good starting point. Typically, the values
vary between [0.01–1] and [0.001 and 1], respectively. For Small
and Large, the default value of 5 is a good starting point where,
typically, the values vary between 1 and 10.
- If it is desired to scale the fuzzy membership values from a maximum of less than one, then the fuzzy membership values from these algorithms can always be rescaled—for example multiplication by 0.75 would reduce the maximum fuzzy membership value to 0.75.
- Hedges implemented are Very and Somewhat. Very is also known as concentration and is defined as the fuzzy membership function squared. Somewhat is known as dilation, or "More or Less", and is the square root of the Fuzzification membership function. The very and somewhat hedges decrease and increase, respectively, the fuzzy membership functions.
- For small and large membership functions, negative values need to be transformed to positive.
- For the Linear membership function the input raster must be ordered data.
- For Linear memberships, the minimum can be less than the maximum to create a positive slope, or greater than the maximum to create a negative slope for the transform.
