Zadeh, J. Baldwin, E. Hisdal, R. Yager, M. Mizumoto et.al. different solutions to this problem were proposed. Though different, they all share one common feature. It is that they ignore the fact that a single fuzzy conditional proposition represents only one specific manifestaion of the causal influence exerted by X on Y which is being described by binding the fuzzy set B to the fuzzy set A. Thus, the general pattern of the causal relationship between the two linguistic variables is forgotten about. As a result the inference made when the original value of X is replaced by a new one might, in som cases, contradict the general pattern of the causal relationship.The present paper makes an attempt to specify these types of inference with a single fuzzy conditional proposition which do not depend on the general pattern of the causal relationship between X and Y. It also discusses some associated problems.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-86-15}, NOTE = {Also in Proc of IJCAI87 and in International Journal for Fuzzy Sets and Systems}
