Fuzzy rule based models have a capability to approximate any continuous function to any degree of accuracy on a compact domain. The majority of FLC design process relies on heuristic knowledge of experience operators. In order to make the design process automatic we present a genetic approach to learn fuzzy rules as well as membership function parameters. Moreover, several statistical information criteria such as the Akaike information criterion (AIC), the Bhansali-Downham information criterion (BDIC), and the Schwarz-Rissanen information criterion (SRIC) are used to construct optimal fuzzy models by reducing fuzzy rules. A genetic scheme is used to design Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) model for identification of the antecedent rule parameters and the identification of the consequent parameters. Computer simulations are presented confirming the performance of the constructed fuzzy logic controller.

Autonomously training interpretable control strategies, called policies, using pre-existing plant trajectory data is of great interest in industrial applications. Fuzzy controllers have been used in industry for decades as interpretable and efficient system controllers. In this study, we introduce a fuzzy genetic programming (GP) approach called fuzzy GP reinforcement learning (FGPRL) that can select the relevant state features, determine the size of the required fuzzy rule set, and automatically adjust all the controller parameters simultaneously. Each GP individual's fitness is computed usin…

Making high-quality decisions in strategic spatial planning is heavily dependent on extracting knowledge from vast amounts of data. Although many decision-making problems like developing urban areas require such perception and reasoning, existing methods in this field usually neglect the deep knowledge mined from geographic databases and are based on pure statistical methods. Due to the large volume of data gathered in spatial databases, and the uncertainty of spatial objects, mining association rules for high-level knowledge representation is a challenging task. Few algorithms manage geograph…
Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) is a complex systems modeling technique which, due to its unique advantages, has lately risen in popularity. They are based on graphs that represent the causal relationships among the parameters of the system to be modeled, and they stand out for their interpretability and flexibility. With the late popularity of FCMs, a plethora of research efforts have taken place to develop and optimize the model. One of the most important elements of FCMs is the learning algorithm they use, and their effectiveness is largely determined by it. The learning algorithms learn the no…

This paper provides an in-depth review of the optimal design of type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference systems (FIS) using five well known computational frameworks: genetic-fuzzy systems (GFS), neuro-fuzzy systems (NFS), hierarchical fuzzy systems (HFS), evolving fuzzy systems (EFS), and multi-objective fuzzy systems (MFS), which is in view that some of them are linked to each other. The heuristic design of GFS uses evolutionary algorithms for optimizing both Mamdani-type and Takagi-Sugeno-Kang-type fuzzy systems. Whereas, the NFS combines the FIS with neural network learning systems to improve the…

In regression problems, the use of TSK fuzzy systems is widely extended due to the precision of the obtained models. Moreover, the use of simple linear TSK models is a good choice in many real problems due to the easy understanding of the relationship between the output and input variables. In this paper we present FRULER, a new genetic fuzzy system for automatically learning accurate and simple linguistic TSK fuzzy rule bases for regression problems. In order to reduce the complexity of the learned models while keeping a high accuracy, the algorithm consists of three stages: instance selectio…
Statistical Hypothesis Testing (SHT) is a class of inference methods whereby one makes use of empirical data to test a hypothesis and often emit a judgment about whether to reject it or not. In this paper we focus on the logical aspect of this strategy, which is largely independent of the adopted school of thought, at least within the various frequentist approaches. We identify SHT as taking the form of an unsound argument from Modus Tollens in classical logic, and, in order to rescue SHT from this difficulty, we propose that it can instead be grounded in t-norm based fuzzy logics. We reformul…

Fuzzy systems concern fundamental methodology to represent and process uncertainty and imprecision in the linguistic information. The fuzzy systems that use fuzzy rules to represent the domain knowledge of the problem are known as Fuzzy Rule Base Systems (FRBS). On the other hand image segmentation and subsequent extraction from a noise-affected background, with the help of various soft computing methods, are relatively new and quite popular due to various reasons. These methods include various Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models (primarily supervised in nature), Genetic Algorithm (GA) base…
This paper proposed a model to predict the stock price based on combining Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and fuzzy-Support Vector Machines (f-SVM). Extraction of fuzzy rules from raw data based on the combining of statistical machine learning models is base of this proposed approach. In the proposed model, SOM is used as a clustering algorithm to partition the whole input space into the several disjoint regions. For each partition, a set of fuzzy rules is extracted based on a f-SVM combining model. Then fuzzy rules sets are used to predict the test data using fuzzy inference algorithms. The perform…

We revisit Zadeh's notion of "evidence of the second kind" and show that it provides the foundation for a general theory of epistemic random fuzzy sets, which generalizes both the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions and possibility theory. In this perspective, Dempster-Shafer theory deals with belief functions generated by random sets, while possibility theory deals with belief functions induced by fuzzy sets. The more general theory allows us to represent and combine evidence that is both uncertain and fuzzy. We demonstrate the application of this formalism to statistical inference, an…

The clustering methods have been used in a variety of fields such as image processing, data mining, pattern recognition, and statistical analysis. Generally, the clustering algorithms consider all variables equally relevant or not correlated for the clustering task. Nevertheless, in real situations, some variables can be correlated or may be more or less relevant or even irrelevant for this task. This paper proposes partitioning fuzzy clustering algorithms based on Euclidean, City-block and Mahalanobis distances and entropy regularization. These methods are an iterative three steps algorithms …
In this paper, the fuzzy multi-objective reliability redundancy allocation problem (FMORRAP) is proposed, which maximizes the system reliability while simultaneously minimizing the system cost under the type 2 fuzzy uncertainty. In the proposed formulation, the higher order uncertainties (such as parametric, manufacturing, environmental, and designers uncertainty) associated with the system are modeled with interval type 2 fuzzy sets (IT2 FS). The footprint of uncertainty of the interval type 2 membership functions (IT2 MFs) accommodates these uncertainties by capturing the multiple opinions f…
