A Fuzzy Reasoning Approach for Assessing Morningness of Individuals Using Reduced Version of Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire

Abstract

In this article assessment of morningness of individuals has been performed using fuzzy reasoning approach. The responses are quantified using fuzzy numbers. Based on experts’ opinion a fuzzy rule-base is prepared. The model is validated by considering responses of some students, selected randomly, and assessing their degree of morningness. The achieved results are compared with that of existing classical method. Results show that proposed approach outperforms the existing classical approaches by capturing the inherent ambiguity and vagueness of morningness study.
