Abstract:
This paper suggests a way of measuring the strength of an
implication to evaluate the influence of the financing structure chosen by
company on its efficiency and profitability. The first part describes the
semantics of the fuzzy implication applied to continuous variables. The results
of three single implication measurements between two criteria are then analyzed
on a sample population of 140 companies.
Keywords: Fuzzy implication, Fuzzy logic
