“…To apply ant colony meta‐heuristic method to the fuzzy rules building problem, the following steps have to be performed [24, 25]: (i) obtain a problem representation as a graph covered by ants; (ii) assign a heuristic preference to each ant's choice to generate the solution; (iii) initialise the pheromone trails; (iv) define a fitness function to be optimised; and finally (v) apply the ant colony algorithm to the problem. The complete set of compounded fuzzy rules after applying the utilised rules building model is given as follows …”
