In this paper, we propose a new learning algorithm that can be used to design TSK-type neuro-fuzzy networks. Though there has been a great deal of interest in the use of immune algorithms (IAs) for computer science and engineering, in terms of fundamental methodologies, they are not dramatically different from other algorithms. In order to enhance the IA performance, we propose the immune-based...

This paper gives some known theoretical results about fuzzy rule-based classifiers and offers a few new ones. The ability of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy classifiers to match exactly and to approximate classification boundaries is discussed. The lemma by Klawonn and Klement about the exact match of a classification boundary in R (2) is extended from monotonous to arbitrary functions. Equivale...

The TSK model introduced by Takagi Sugeno and Kang TSK fuzzy reasoning is associated with fuzzy rules that have a special format with a func tional type consequent instead of the fuzzy consequent that normally appears in the MamdamiModel In this way the TSK approach tries to decompose the input space into subspaces and then approximate the system in each subspace by a simple linear regression m...

This preliminary study aimed to assess skin temperature (Tsk) asymmetries before and after on-court training in elite young tennis players find the correlation between these demographic data, racquet characteristics, pain fatigue variation. Thermal images of nine were taken two a half hours standardised training. correlated age, years experience, weight, string tension, body mass index (BMI), v...

The current study aimed to examine the influence of body fat percentage on thermal responses to water immersion at the two temperature extremes used in athletic recovery, by comparing the thermal responses of lowand high-fat individuals to immersion in hot water (HWI) or cold water (CWI). Thirty-nine subjects completed a body composition assessment (to determine low-fat and high-fat groups), an...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore the associations between pain-related fear, pain disability, and self-perceived recovery among patients with sciatica and disk herniation followed up for 2 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pain-related fear was measured by the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) and the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire-Physical Activity (FABQ-PA) subscale. Di...

In this paper, a TSK-type recurrent fuzzy network (TRFN) structure is proposed. The proposal calls for a design of TRFN by either neural network or genetic algorithms depending on the learning environment. Set forth first is a recurrent fuzzy network which develops from a series of recurrent fuzzy if–then rules with TSK-type consequent parts. The recurrent property comes from feeding the intern...

BACKGROUND The goal of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is optimal pain relief and a normalized health-related quality of life. Anxious patients describe more pain and more difficulties than non-anxious patients during rehabilitation after THA. The aims of the present study were twofold: (1) to identify vulnerable patients using the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) and the Tampa scale for Kinesio...
