An Approach of Artificial Neural Networks Modeling Based on Fuzzy Regression for Forecasting Purposes
International Journal of Engineering · 2015
In this paper, a new approach of modeling for Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) models based on the concepts of fuzzy regression is proposed. For this purpose, we reformulated ANN model as a fuzzy nonlinear regression model while it has advantages of both fuzzy regression and ANN models. Hence, it can be applied to uncertain, ambiguous, or complex environments due to its flexibility for forecasting purposes.
