Dinorms  Natural aggregation of dichotomic values. Contifiers  Continuous–data association quantifiers. Clustions  Notion clustering, based on contifiers.		The Enduce open-source project is a data-mining approach based on fuzzy logic that is applied to interval valued data. It is the core of the Lingua system - Fuzzy logic data-mining on gene expressions, a bioinformatics targeted package for the R project. Enduce is used as a framework for fuzzy logic driven libraries.
The Dinorms part of the Enduce system
Dinorms are functions for aggregation of dichotomic values from the [-1, 1] interval. The values are assumed to be supports for two opposite situations. It can be e.g. reasons for cold vs. hot situations, or underexpressed vs. overexpressed genes as reasons for positive vs. negative advices for a treatment.   The Dinorms functions are based on fuzzy logic connectives. While it is known that we can not have functions natural (i.e. continuous, commutative and associative functions) for such dichotomic aggregations, it can be separated into twofold process. First, negative and positive values are aggregated separately in the natural way. Then the result values are combined into a final aggregation (e.g. prognosis).   The first step is done according to conorms - generalized 'or' functions. It leads into more firm judgements with more support data. The second step is done according to coimplicators - generalized form of functors complementary to implications. They can be viewed as distance measures. It has an advantage of possibility of multiple choices, all of them can be combined naturally with at most one nonzero result value.
The Contifiers part of the Enduce system
Contifiers view: a page (re)load gives a random count of case points with random locations drag the cases (circles) to change their x,y-values inside the [0, 1]x[0, 1] square. click on the arrows to change directionality type of the computed associations: directed vs. mutual.
Contifiers are functors for aggregation of [0, 1]-interval valued pairs when we look for relations (associations) between the pair items. Particular value pairs are for data cases, i.e. individual experiments or shopping carts. The relations can be: directional, i.e. one being a witness for the second mutual, i.e. the pair items sharing some similarities   The directional contifiers are for situations like 'when situation-A occurs then situation-B frequently occurs too'. It can be e.g. for expression of a gene b is triggered by a gene a. The mutual contifiers are for situations when the relation is bidirectional. Contifiers are observational fuzzy-quantifiers from a theoretical point of view.
The Clustions part of the Enduce system
Clustions schema: both values zero-ish, neglected. similar, half-valued cases, half-counted pro. similar greatest values, the best. partially dissimilar values, worse. highly dissimilar values, the worst.
Clustions are for notion-wise clustering of [0, 1]-valued data, with possible [-1, 1] interval being used as compressed pairs of dichotomic data. The clustering itself proceeds like k-means with the similarity metrics based on Contifiers, especially the product ones. It means that cases with zero-only values are neglected, greater similar values count for, greater dissimilar values count against.
