A novel tuning method is proposed for the design of fuzzy PID controllers for multivariable systems. In the proposed method, a PID controller is expressed in terms of fuzzy rules, in which the input variables are the error signals and their derivatives, while the output variables are the PID gains. In this manner, the PID gains are adaptive and the fuzzy PID controller has more flexibility and ...

Knowledge extraction process poses certain problems like accessing sensitive, personal or business information. Privacy invasion occurs owing to the abuse of personal information. Hence privacy issues are challenging concern of the data miners. Privacy preservation is a complex task as it ensures the privacy of individuals without losing the accuracy of data mining results. In this paper, fuzzy...

correct estimation of suspended sediment transported by a river is an important practice in water structure design, environmental problems and water quality issues. conventionally, sediment rating curve used for suspended sediment estimation in rivers. in this method discharge and sediment discharge or concentration related using regression relation that generally is exponential model. respect ...

A major problem when conducting mining fuzzy association rules from the database (DB) is the large computation time and memory needed. In addition, the selection of fuzzy sets for each attribute of the database is very important because it will affect the quality of the mining rule. This paper proposes a method for mining fuzzy association rules using compressed database. We also use the approa...

In this paper, novel fuzzy neural networks (FNNs) combining with support vector learning mechanism called support-vector-based fuzzy neural networks (SVFNNs) are proposed for pattern classification and function approximation. The SVFNNs combine the capability of minimizing the empirical risk (training error) and expected risk (testing error) of support vector learning in high dimensional data s...

The goal of data mining is to find out interesting and meaningful patterns from large databases. In some real applications, many data are quantitative and linguistic. Fuzzy data mining was thus proposed to discover fuzzy knowledge from this kind of data. In the past, two mining algorithms based on the ant colony systems were proposed to find suitable membership functions for fuzzy association r...

resistivity and induced polarization methods are used in exploration of porphyry metals for years. the resistivity method is used in the study of horizontal and vertical discontinuities in the electrical properties of the ground. the induced polarization method makes use of the capacitive action of the subsurface to locate zones where conductive minerals are disseminated within their host rocks...

In this paper, we propose a constructive method to develop a fuzzy system having a monotonic input–output relationship and prove that the developed fuzzy system can approximate any continuously differentiable monotonic function with any desired degree of accuracy. The fuzzy system is constructed with complete and consistent input membership functions and imposes special parametric constraints o...

In this paper we introduce a new approach for adjustment of membership functions, generation, and reduction of fuzzy rule base from data in the same time. The proposed approach consists of five steps: First, generate fuzzy rules from data using Mendel & Wang Method introduced in [1]. Second, calculate the degree of similarity between rules. Third, measure the distance between the numerical valu...

Geocomputation has a long tradition in dealing with fuzzyness in different contexts, most notably in the challenges created by the representation of geographic space in digital form. Geocomputation tools should be able to address the imminent continuous nature of geo phenomena, and its accompanying fuzzyness. Fuzzy Set Theory allows partial memberships of entities to concepts with non-crisp bou...
