Fuzzy
Although most of the volunteers declared that the advertisement content
would not influence their voting, the above dependences suggest a possible
influence of each ai on vote decision. As a consequence we decided
to investigate the possibility of VDS being a tri-dimensional space, where
the No and Yes coordinates expresses the confidences µ(N),
µ(Y) on the No (aN) and Yes arguments (aY), respectively.
We assumed e(ai),i(ai) to be fuzzy measurements
of the credibility and importance of each ai and that confidence
µ(N) (or µ(Y)) in voting No (or Yes) is calculated
as fuzzy inferences of the type:
where * is a t-norm, and the operator Q is the following logic operator:
In the next figure we see that votes for No are associated with positive
values of µ(N) and negative values of µ(Y),
and the other way around, votes for Yes are associated with positive values
of µ(Y) and negative values of µ(N), as it should
be expected.
