This paper presents an adaptation of the COR methodology to derive the rule base in TSK-type linguistic fuzzy rule-based systems. In particular, the work adapts an existing local search algorithm for Mamdani rules which was shown to find the best solutions, whilst reducing the number of evaluations in the learning process.

This paper explores a new approach to structure identi cation of TakagiSugeno-Kang (TSK) Fuzzy Models. We employ Genetic Programming (GP) to nd an optimal partition of the input space into Gaussian, axis-orthogonal fuzzy sets. We compare the GP approach with a greedy partition algorithm (LOLIMOT) for modeling an engine characteristic map.

When skin is stretched, stimuli experienced by a cutaneous mechanoreceptor neuron are transmitted to the nerve ending through the skin. In these experiments, we tested the hypothesis that the viscoelastic response of the skin influences the dynamic response of cutaneous rapidly adapting (RA) neurons. Cutaneous RA afferent neurons were recorded in 3 species of mice (Tsk, Pallid, and C57BL6) whos...

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...
