In this paper, an efficient fault diagnosis method for air-handling unit using dynamic fuzzy neural networks (DFNNs) is presented. The proposed fault diagnosis method has the following salient features: (1) structure identification and parameters estimation are performed automatically and simultaneously without partitioning input space and selecting initial parameters a priori; (2) fuzzy rules ...

The data-driven identification of fuzzy rule-based classifiers for high-dimensional problems is addressed. A binary decision-tree-based initialization of fuzzy classifiers is proposed for the selection of the relevant features and effective initial partitioning of the input domains of the fuzzy system. Fuzzy classifiers have more flexible decision boundaries than decision trees (DTs) and can th...

A color image segmentation technique which exploits a novel definition of rough fuzzy sets and the rough–fuzzy product operation is presented. The segmentation is performed by partitioning each block in multiple rough fuzzy sets that are used to build a lower and a upper histogram in the HSV color space. For each bin of the lower and upper histograms a measure, called τ index, is computed to fi...

This paper focuses on the data-driven generation of fuzzy IF...THEN rules. The resulted fuzzy rule base can be applied to build a classifier, a model used for prediction, or it can be applied to form a decision support system. Among the wide range of possible approaches, the decision tree and the association rule based algorithms are overviewed, and two new approaches are presented based on the...

The classification and regression trees (CART) possess the advantage of being able to handlelarge data sets and yield readily interpretable models. In spite to these advantages, they are alsorecognized as highly unstable classifiers with respect to minor perturbations in the training data.In the other words methods present high variance. Fuzzy logic brings in an improvement in theseaspects due ...

In the last 15 years, a number of methods have been proposed for forecasting based on fuzzy time series. Most of the fuzzy time series methods are presented for forecasting of enrollments at the University of Alabama. However, the forecasting accuracy rates of the existing methods are not good enough. In this paper, we compared our proposed new method of fuzzy time series forecasting with exist...

Much research has shown that fuzzy c-means clustering is a powerful tool for partitioning samples into different categories. However, the cost function of the classical fuzzy c-means (FCM) is defined by the distances from data to the cluster centers with their fuzzy memberships. In this study, a new fuzzy clustering algorithm, namely the fuzzy weighted c-means (FWCM), is proposed. In this propo...

The main problem in constructing fuzzy systems consists on finding an initial structure for it. The structure of fuzzy systems is composed of the number of fuzzy sets partitioning each variable and their distribution in the universe of discourse. This paper proposes the use of the autonomous-mountain clustering method to identify this structure for applications in fuzzy systems modeling. To inv...

Appropriate task offloading management strategy is a challenging problem for high delay-sensitive and heavy-task applications. This paper proposes fuzzy-based mobile edge manager with partitioning, which can handle the multi-criteria decision-making process by considering multiple parameters in MEC network framework make appropriate decisions incoming tasks of IoT Considering that devices are b...

The problem of partitioning appears in several areas ranging from VLSI, parallel programming, to molecular biology. The interest in finding an optimal partition especially in VLSI has been a hot issue in recent years. In VLSI circuit partitioning, the problem of obtaining a minimum cut is of prime importance. With current trends, partitioning with multiple objectives which includes power, delay...
