13. A fuzzy logic expert system for reasoning about data, comprising: (i)means for accessing the data; (ii) means for determining a type of the data from a group consisting of numeric, linguistic and a hybrid combination thereof; (iii) means for selecting a rule for firing based on the determined type of the data; (iv) means for obtaining fuzzy membership grades; (v) means for aggregating the fuzzy membership grades by invoking a parametric formulation; (vi) means for applying a compositional rule of inference parametrically to extract a consequent to obtain a fuzzy output; and (vii) means for defuzifying the fuzzy output.
