This paper presents an approach which is useful for the identification of a
fuzzy model. The identification of a fuzzy model using input-output data c
onsists of two parts: structure identification and parameter identification
. In this paper, algorithms to identify those parameters and structures are
suggested to solve the problems of conventional methods. Given a set of in
put-output data, the consequent parameters are identified by the Hough tran
sform and clustering method, which consider the linearity and continuity, r
espectively. For the premise part identification, the input space is partit
ioned by a clustering method. The gradient descent algorithm is used to fin
e-tune parameters of a fuzzy model. Finally, it is shown that this method i
s useful for the identification of a fuzzy model by simulation. (C) 1999 El
