Automated Fuzzy Model Generation and an Analysis of the Proposed Method

Abstract

In this paper, software implementation and analysis of a fuzzy modeling technique, which automatically generates the membership functions and fuzzy rules using SMRGT (Simple Membership Functions and Fuzzy Rules Generation Technique), and an application of this product is presented. SMRGT method, introduced by Z. Fuat TOPRAK [10], is a technique used to determine the key values and to generate the rule base of the system. It was introduced in a research article which aimed at fuzzy-modeling of the flow discharge in open canals. In this study, SFM (SMRGT Fuzzy Modeler), a software implementation of automated fuzzy rules generation that incorporates Toprak’s methodology, is provided and a few amendments which were previously used in data mining techniques are introduced. Also a brief analysis and critics of the SMRGT method is provided.
