TLDR
An additive fuzzy system can uniformly approximate any real continuous function on a compact domain to any degree of accuracy.
Abstract
An additive fuzzy system can uniformly approximate any real continuous function on a compact domain to any degree of accuracy. An additive fuzzy system approximates the function by covering its graph with fuzzy patches in the input-output state space and averaging patches that overlap. The fuzzy system computes a conditional expectation E|Y|X| if we view the fuzzy sets as random sets. Each fuzzy rule defines a fuzzy patch and connects commonsense knowledge with state-space geometry. Neural or statistical clustering systems can approximate the unknown fuzzy patches from training data. These adaptive fuzzy systems approximate a function at two levels. At the local level the neural system approximates and tunes the fuzzy rules. At the global level the rules or patches approximate the function. >

Assessing sandy beach macrofaunal patterns along large-scale environmental gradients: A Fuzzy Naïve Bayes approach

TL;DR: In this article, a Fuzzy Naive Bayes (FNB) classifier was developed to assess large-scale variations in abundance, species richness and diversity of the macrofauna inhabiting fifteen Uruguayan sandy beaches affected by the effects of beach morphodynamics and the estuarine gradient generated by Rio de la Plata.

Bacterial Memetic Algorithm Trained Fuzzy System-Based Model of Single Weld Bead Geometry

TL;DR: A fuzzy system-based modeling approach to estimate the weld bead geometry (WBG) from the welding process variables (WPVs) and to achieve a specific weld bead shape is presented and suggests that the BGP model estimates the BWG in a superior manner when several WPVs are altered.

Learning maximal structure fuzzy rules with exceptions

TL;DR: This paper proposes a method to solve the conflicts that arise in the framework of fuzzy model identification with maximal rules where rules are selected as general as possible and a heuristic strategy is proposed to generate those maximal rules.

Pattern-Similarity-Based Model for Time Series Prediction

TL;DR: This article uses single hidden Markov model (HMM) for clustering and combines it with soft computing techniques (fuzzy inference system/artificial neural network) for the prediction of time series.

Multilayer feedforward networks are universal approximators

TL;DR: It is rigorously established that standard multilayer feedforward networks with as few as one hidden layer using arbitrary squashing functions are capable of approximating any Borel measurable function from one finite dimensional space to another to any desired degree of accuracy, provided sufficiently many hidden units are available.

Fuzzy basis functions, universal approximation, and orthogonal least-squares learning

TL;DR: Using the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, it is proved that linear combinations of the fuzzy basis functions are capable of uniformly approximating any real continuous function on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.
