Abstract

In a previous paper, we proposed an extended ANFIS architecture and showed that interval type-2 ANFIS produced larger errors than type-1 ANFIS on the well-known IRIS classification problem. In this paper, more experiments on both synthetic and real-world data are conducted to further investigate and compare the performance of interval type-2 ANFIS and type-1 ANFIS. For each dataset, interval type-2 ANFIS is optimised in three different ways, including a strategy suggested by Mendel such that interval type-2 ANFIS would be no worse than type-1 ANFIS. Our results show that in some circumstances the performance of interval type-2 ANFIS can be improved when it is initialised with blurred optimised type-1 ANFIS parameters. However, in general, interval type-2 ANFIS does not produce a clear performance improvement compared to type-1 ANFIS, especially on Mackey-Glass data with large noise. Thus, we conclude that the choice of interval type-2 ANFIS over type-1 ANFIS should be carefully considered, since type-2 ANFIS is more computationally complex, yet significantly better performance cannot be easily obtained.
