A transformed input-domain approach to fuzzy modeling

This paper presents an explanation of a fuzzy model considering the correlation among components of input data. Generally, fuzzy models have a capability of dividing an input space into several subspaces compared to a linear model. But hitherto suggested fuzzy modeling algorithms have not taken into consideration the correlation among components of sample data and have addressed them independently, which results in an ineffective partition of the input space. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a new fuzzy modeling algorithm, which partitions the input space more effectively than conventional fuzzy modeling algorithms by taking into consideration the correlation among components of sample data. As a way to use the correlation and divide the input space, the method of principal component is used. Finally, the results of the computer simulation are given to demonstrate the validity of this algorithm
