A PSO-Based Fuzzy c-Regression Model Applied to Nonlinear Data Modeling
This paper presents a new method for fuzzy c-regression models clustering algorithm. The main motivation for this work is to develop an identification procedure for nonlinear systems using weighted recursive least squares and particle swarm optimization. The fuzzy c-regression models algorithm is sensitive to initialization which leads to the convergence to a local minimum of the objective function. In order to overcome this problem, particle swarm optimization is employed to achieve global optimization of FCRM and to finally tune parameters of obtained fuzzy model. The weighted recursive least squares is used to identify the unknown parameters of the local linear model. Finally, validation results involving simulation of two examples have demonstrated the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed algorithm.
