This paper addresses the main steps in model-based control: the identification of the model and the design of the controller. A series of recent research results is aggregated to present a complete approach. A fuzzy model of the system is identified from sampled data using supervised fuzzy clustering for rule extraction. This model is applied in model predictive control (MPC) of the process. Th...

To deal with severe drought when water supply is insufficient hedging rule, based on hedging rule curve, is proposed. In general, in discrete hedging rules, the rationing factors have changed from a zone to another zone at once. Accordingly, this paper is an attempt to improve the conventional hedging rule to control the changes of rationing factors. In this regard, the simulation model has emp...

A new approach is proposed for the data-based identification of transparent fuzzy rule-based classifiers. It is observed that fuzzy rule-based classifiers work in a similar manner as kernel function-based support vector machines (SVMs) since both model the input space by nonlinearly maps into a feature space where the decision can be easily made. Accordingly, trained SVM can be used for the con...

Fuzzy rule based systems have been very popular in many engineering applications. In petroleum engineering, fuzzy rules are normally constructed using some fuzzy rule extraction techniques to establish the petrophysical properties prediction model. However, when generating fizzy rules from the available information, it may result in a sparse fuzzy rule base. The use of more than one input varia...

Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification Systems (FRBCS) are highly investigated by researchers due to their noise-stability and  interpretability. Unfortunately, generating a rule-base which is sufficiently both accurate and interpretable, is a hard process. Rule weighting is one of the approaches to improve the accuracy of a pre-generated rule-base without modifying the original rules. Most of the pro...

In this paper, a hybrid Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) system for function approximation is presented. The proposed FNN can handle numeric and fuzzy inputs simultaneously. The numeric inputs are fuzzified by input nodes upon presentation to the network while the Fuzzy rule based knowledge is translated directly into network architecture. The connections between input to hidden nodes represent rule ...

This paper considers the automatic design of fuzzy rule-basedclassification systems based on labeled data. The classification performance andinterpretability are of major importance in these systems. In this paper, weutilize the distribution of training patterns in decision subspace of each fuzzyrule to improve its initially assigned certainty grade (i.e. rule weight). Ourapproach uses a punish...
