A novel parametric fuzzy CMAC network and its applications

This paper shows fundamentals and applications of the novel parametric fuzzy cerebellar model articulation controller (P-FCMAC) network. It resembles a neural structure that derived from the Albus CMAC algorithm and Takagi-Sugeno-Kang parametric fuzzy inference systems. The Gaussian basis function is used to model the hypercube structure and the linear parametric equation of the network input variance is used to model the TSK-type output. A self-constructing learning algorithm, which consists of the self-clustering method (SCM) and the backpropagation algorithm, is proposed. The proposed the SCM scheme is a fast, one-pass algorithm for a dynamic estimation of the number of hypercube cells in an input data space. The clustering technique does not require prior knowledge of things such as the number of clusters present in a data set. The backpropagation algorithm is used to tune the adjustable parameters. Illustrative examples were conducted to show the performance and applicability of the proposed model. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
