Abstract

Abstract: To solve problems with a Sugeno adaptive fuzzy neural network using training data, it is necessary to select the appropriate combination of input characteristics of the sub-adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and to determine the appropriate topology. The multi-layer architecture of a sub-ANFIS (MLA-ANFIS) is a good model for prediction problems and solves them modularity. Since, the combination of several predictors is the current focus in the construction of hybrid intelligent systems; we created many solutions to combine machine learning methods, namely ANFIS, support vector machine (SVM), deep neural network (DNN), naive Bayes (NB), linear regression (LR), extreme learning machine (ELM), and decision tree (DT) mixed predictors, and ensemble bootstrap aggregation based on MLA-ANFIS in order to discover the optimal model of combined predictors based on the MLA-ANFIS with a combination of input features entered in the MLA-ANFIS. We implemented our approaches on 365-day concrete compressive strength, thoracic surgery, fertility diagnosis, breast, energy, and glass identification datasets from UCI. The experimental results prove that the combining predictors for the MLA-ANFIS show performance improvements compared to the pure MLA-ANFIS method.
