Abstract

Fuzzy logic systems have been extensively applied for solving many real world application problems because they are found to be universal approximators and many methods, particularly, gradient descent (GD) methods have been widely adopted for the optimization of fuzzy membership functions. Despite its popularity, GD still suffers some drawbacks in terms of its slow learning and convergence. In this study, the use of decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF) to optimize the parameters of an interval type-2 intuitionistic fuzzy logic system of Tagagi-Sugeno-Kang (IT2IFLS-TSK) fuzzy inference is proposed and results compared with IT2IFLS gradient descent learning. The resulting systems are evaluated on a real world dataset from Australia’s electricity market. The IT2IFLS-DEKF is also compared with its type-1 variant and interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS). Analysis of results reveal performance superiority of IT2IFLS trained with DEKF (IT2IFLS-DEKF) over IT2IFLS trained with gradient descent (IT2IFLS-GD). The proposed IT2IFLS-DEKF also outperforms its type-1 variant and IT2FLS on the same learning platform.
