Without trial and error as in the conventional FLPID controller design, scale factors, membership functions and control rules of the optimal FLPID controller are automatically and simultaneously tuned by a bee colony optimization.
Once the optimal model was identified, sociodemographic variables were tested for significance in predicting preference and/or scale class membership.
On a local scale, family membership has a larger effect on pheromone composition than subpopulation affiliation, while the reverse is true for the regional scale.

Selection of features to identify the variables most associated with changes in the 3-scale severity membership.
The benefits of identifying with a large-scale group membership are also suggested in studies that show those who are religious tend to fare better in terms of health than their non-religious counterparts (George, Ellison, & Larson, 2002).
We discuss these findings and their implication for understanding the relationship between social identification (especially with large-scale group memberships) and well-being.
Membership of a fuzzy set, however, is expressed on a continuous scale from 1 (full membership) to 0 (full non-membership).
In what follows, we examine how and why social identity processes may be relevant to well-being and whether identifying with a large-scale social group membership is associated with such benefits.
