Abstract :
It is shown that it is possible to regard stochastic and fuzzy logics as being derived from two different constraints on a probability logic: statistical independence (stochastic) and logical implication (fuzzy). To contrast the merits of the two logics, some published data on a fuzzy-logic controller is reanalysed using stochastic logic and it is shown that no significant difference results in the control policy.
