Abstract

This paper suggests an evolving granular min-max regression algorithm for fuzzy rule-based system modeling. The algorithm starts with an empty rule base, but adds or modifies the rule base as stream data are input. Granulation of data is done by partitioning the input space using hyperboxes and associating to each hyperbox a fuzzy set and a fuzzy functional rule with affine consequent. The model output is produced combining the affine consequents weighted by the normalized membership degrees of the active fuzzy rules. The parameters of the consequents are adjusted using the recursive least squares with a forgetting factor. The algorithm has an incremental nature, and learns with one-pass processing of the data. The recursive form of the algorithm allows gradual model changes using simple maximum, minimum, and comparison operations, an appealing feature when handling high-dimensional data. Computational experiments concerning time series forecasting and system identification show that the evolving granular fuzzy min-max algorithm is fast, memory efficient, and competitive with current state of the art approaches.
