Abstract
In this paper we provide an overview of fuzzy modeling methods applied to time series processing. The basic methods are Fuzzy Transform (F-transform) and selected methods of Fuzzy Natural Logic (FNL). We address classical tasks such as estimation of trend and its prediction, and also methods for mining information from time series. We provide information that can hardly be obtained using statistics. Namely, we automatically form an explanation of the forecast in natural language, provide comments to the slope of time series in an imprecisely specified area, detect possible structural breaks, “bull and bear” phases of financial time series, measure of similarity between time series and provide automatic summarization of knowledge about time series expressed in natural language.

Notes
- 1.
The interval [0, 1] is a set of truth values where 0 means falsity, 1 truth and the other values express partial truth. This interval can be replaced by a suitable bounded lattice.
- 2.
In fact, the F-transform provides weighted average of arbitrary derivative but in time series processing we need only the first and second ones.
- 3.
Such a function is implemented in the experimental software LFL Controller and LFL Forecaster (see http://irafm.osu.cz/en/c100_0) developed in the Institute for Research and Applications of Fuzzy Modeling of the University of Ostrava, Czech Republic. The authors are Vilém Novák, Antonín Dvořák and Viktor Pavliska. The results demonstrated in this paper were obtained using the mentioned software.

For example, the context for height of trees in Europe can be \(v_L=1\) m, \(v_R=50\) m and \(v_S=20\) m.
