Clustering of TS-fuzzy system

This paper presents a fuzzy c-means clustering method for partitioning symbolic interval data, namely the T-S fuzzy rules. The proposed method furnish a fuzzy partition and prototype for each cluster by optimizing an adequacy criterion based on suitable squared Euclidean distances between vectors of intervals. This methodology leads to a fuzzy partition of the TS-fuzzy rules, one for each cluster, which corresponds to a new set of fuzzy sub-systems. When applied to the clustering of TS-fuzzy system the result is a set of additive decomposed TS-fuzzy sub-systems. In this work a generalized Probabilistic Fuzzy CMeans algorithm is proposed and applied to TS-Fuzzy System clustering.
