Knowledge Discovery of Hydrocyclone s Circuit Based on SONFIS and SORST

This study describes application of some approximate reasoning methods to analysis of hydrocyclone performance. In this manner, using a combining of Self Organizing Map (SOM), Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (NFIS)-SONFISand Rough Set Theory (RST)-SORST-crisp and fuzzy granules are obtained. Balancing of crisp granules and non-crisp granules can be implemented in close-open iteration. Using different criteria and based on granulation level balance point (interval) or a pseudo-balance point is estimated. Validation of the proposed methods, on the data set of the hydrocyclone is rendered.
