A comparative study of learning methods in tuning parameters of fuzzy membership functions
Mu-Song Chen · 2003
We compare several popular training algorithms for tuning parameters of fuzzy membership functions (MFs). The algorithms compared are gradient descent (GD), resilient propagation (RPROP), Quickprop (QP), and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithms. These algorithms are combined with RLSE (recursive least squares estimate) to improve the efficiency of an ANFIS (adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system). The results, on average, show that the relative performance of these algorithms depends on the given task, but that RPROP produces better performance in terms of convergence speed, stability, and generalization properties.
