frbs (version 3.2-0)

# frbs.gen: The frbs model generator

## Description

The purpose of this function is to generate a FRBS model from user-given input without a learning process.

## Usage

frbs.gen(range.data, num.fvalinput, names.varinput,
num.fvaloutput = NULL, varout.mf = NULL, names.varoutput = NULL,
rule, varinp.mf, type.model = "MAMDANI", type.defuz = "WAM",
type.tnorm = "MIN", type.snorm = "MAX", func.tsk = NULL,
colnames.var = NULL, type.implication.func = "ZADEH",
name = "Sim-0")

## Arguments

range.data

a matrix ($$2 \times n$$) containing the range of the data, where $$n$$ is the number of variables, and first and second rows are the minimum and maximum values, respectively.

num.fvalinput

a matrix representing the number of linguistic terms of each input variables.

For example: num.fvalinput <- matrix(c(3,2), nrow = 1)

means that there are two variables where the first variable has three linguistic terms and the second one has two linguistic terms.

names.varinput

a list containing names to the linguistic terms for input variables. See rulebase.

num.fvaloutput

the number of linguistic terms of the output variable. This parameter is required for the Mamdani model only.

For example: num.fvaloutput <- matrix(3, nrow = 1)

means there are 3 linguistic terms for the output variable.

varout.mf

a matrix for constructing the membership functions of the output variable. The form is the same as for the varinp.mf parameter. This parameter is required for the Mamdani model only. See fuzzifier.

names.varoutput

a list giving names of the linguistic terms for the output variable. The form is the same as for the names.varinput parameter. This parameter is required for the Mamdani model only. See rulebase.

rule

a list of fuzzy IF-THEN rules. There are some types of rule structures, for example: Mamdani, Takagi Sugeno Kang, and fuzzy rule-based classification systems (FRBCS). If we use the Mamdani model then the consequent part is a linguistic term, but if we use Takagi Sugeno Kang then we build a matrix representing linear equations in the consequent part. e.g., "a1", "and", "b1, "->", "e1" means that "IF inputvar.1 is a1 and inputvar.2 is b1 THEN outputvar.1 is e1". Make sure that each rule has a "->" sign. Furthermore, we are allowed to use linguistic hedges (e.g., "extremely", "slightly", etc), negation (i.e., "not"), and the "dont_care" value representing degree of membership is always 1. For more detail, see rulebase.

varinp.mf

a matrix for constructing the shapes of the membership functions. See how to construct it in fuzzifier.

type.model

the type of the model. There are three types available as follows.

• MAMDANI means we are using the Mamdani model.

• TSK means we are using the Takagi Sugeno Kang model.

• FRBCS means we are using fuzzy rule-based classification systems (FRBCS).

type.defuz

the type of the defuzzification method. It is used in the Mamdani model only. See defuzzifier.

type.tnorm

the type of the t-norm method. See inference.

type.snorm

the type of the s-norm method. See inference.

func.tsk

a matrix of parameters of the function on the consequent part using the Takagi Sugeno Kang model. This parameter must be defined when we are using Takagi Sugeno Kang. See rulebase.

colnames.var

a list of names of input and output variables.

type.implication.func

a type of implication function. See WM.

name

a name of the simulation.

## Value

The frbs-object.

## Details

It can be used if rules have already been obtained manually, without employing the learning process. In the examples shown, we generate a fuzzy model using frbs.gen and generate the fuzzy rule-based systems step by step manually. Additionally, the examples show several scenarios as follows.

• Using frbs.gen for constructing the Mamdani model on a regression task.

• Using frbs.gen for constructing the Takagi Sugeno Kang model on a regression task.

• Constructing the Mamdani model by executing internal functions such as rulebase, fuzzifier, inference, and defuzzifier for the Mamdani model.

• Using frbs.gen for constructing fuzzy rule-based classification systems (FRBCS) model.
