A systematic approach to a self-generating fuzzy rule-table for function approximation

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper, a systematic design is proposed to determine fuzzy system structure and learning its parameters, from a set of given training examples. In particular, two fundamental problems concerning fuzzy system modeling are addressed: 1) fuzzy rule parameter optimization and 2) the identification of system structure (i.e., the number of membership functions and fuzzy rules). A four-step approach to build a fuzzy system automatically is presented:Step 1 directly obtains the optimum fuzzy rules for a given membership function configuration.Step 2 optimizes the allocation of the membership functions and the conclusion of the rules, in order to achieve a better approximation.Step 3 determines a new and more suitable topology with the information derived from the approximation error distribution; it decides which variables should increase the number of membership functions. Finally, Step 4 determines which structure should be selected to approximate the function, from the possible configurations provided by the algorithm in the three previous steps. The results of applying this method to the problem of function approximation are presented and then compared with other methodologies proposed in the bibliography.

SONFIS: Structure Identification and Modeling with a Self-Organizing Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

“…The Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was proposed by Jyh-Shing R. Jang 13 31,6 , fuzzy controllers 5 and fuzzy classifiers 27 . There have also been developed many practical systems, such as prediction and inference 15 , signal processing and communication systems 25,35 , non-linear control 36,29 , just to mention a few (Notice that none of the above mentioned applications had as a goal an interpretable if-then fuzzy rule-based system).…”

Comparing Mutual Information and Delta Test for Variable Selection to Determine Client Confidence in e-Bank

“…Hay muchas formas de resolver este sistema de ecuaciones. Entre las más usadas se encuentran la descomposición de Cholesky [31], la descomposición en valores singulares (Singular Vale Decomposition, SVD) [32] y el método de mínimos cuadrados ortogonales (Orthogonal Least Squares,OLS) [33]. Para dar un valor a los centros y los radios se diseñó el algoritmo OVI (Output Value-Based Initializer) [34,35], permitiendo dar un punto de partida adecuado, evitando caer en mínimos locales precipitadamente, para comenzar a realizar una búsqueda local que haga un ajuste fino de estos parámetros.…”

Perspectives of fuzzy systems and control

“…Fuzzy models are suited for explaining solutions to users, especially to those who do not have a strong mathematical background. The linguistic interpretability and transparency of fuzzy models constructed from data therefore became important research items in the literature [45,46,15,43,29].…”
