A Neuro-Fuzzy Approach to Identify Lettuce Growth and Greenhouse Climate

摘要

A hybrid neuro-fuzzy approach called the NUFZY system, which embeds fuzzy reasoning into a triple-layered network structure, has been developed to identify nonlinear systems. A set of membership functions at the input layer is partially linked with a layer of rules, using pre-set parameters. By means of a simplified centroid of gravity defuzzification method, the output becomes linear in the weights. Therefore, very fast estimation of the weight parameters can be achieved by using the orthogonal least squares (OLS) method, which also provides a method to efficiently remove the redundant fuzzy rules from the prototype rule base of the NUFZY system. In this paper, the NUFZY system is applied to identify lettuce growth and greenhouse temperature from real experimental data.
