A Novel Interval Type-2 Fuzzy System Identification Method Based on the Modified Fuzzy C-Regression Model
Abstract:
In this article, a novel interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy c -regression modeling method with a modified distance definition is proposed. The modified distance definition is developed to describe the distance between each data point and the local type-2 fuzzy model. To improve the robustness of the proposed identification method, a modified objective function is presented. In addition, different from most previous studies that require numerous free parameters to be determined, an interval type-2 fuzzy c -regression model is developed to reduce the number of such free parameters. Furthermore, an improved ratio between the upper and lower weights is proposed based on the upper and lower membership function with each input data, and the ordinary least-squares method is adopted to establish the type-2 fuzzy model. The Box-Jenkins model and two numerical models are given to illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed results.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
Classification of Systems-I
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
