The complex fuzzy system forecasting model based on fuzzy SVM with triangular fuzzy number input and output

This paper presents a new version of fuzzy support vector machine to forecast the nonlinear fuzzy system with multi-dimensional input variables. The input and output variables of the proposed model are describedas triangular fuzzynumbers. Thenby integrating the triangular fuzzy theory andv-support vector regression machine, the triangular fuzzy v-support vector machine (TFv-SVM) is proposed. To seek the optimal parameters of TFv-SVM, particle swarm optimization is also applied to optimize parameters of TFv-SVM. A forecastingmethod based on TFv-SVRM and PSO are put forward. The results of the application in sale system forecasts confirm the feasibility and the validity of the forecasting method. Compared with the traditional model, TFv-SVM method requires fewer samples and has better forecasting precision. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
