Fuzzy Model Identification: Selected Approaches

This carefully edited collection of recent works in fuzzy model identification opens the field to conventional control theorists as a complement to existing approaches, provides practicing engineers with new techniques, and emphasizes opportunities for new theory by bringing together different methods to identify the same types of fuzzy models. In control engineering, mathematical models are often constructed without using system data (white-box models) or using data but no insight (black-box models). The authors in this volume combine white- and black-box models chosen from types of structures known to be flexible and successful in applications. They use the same notation and terminology, and each describes a model with an identification technique and gives a practical example to show how the method works.
