A new method is developed to generate fuzzy rules from numerical data. This method consists of two algorithms : Algorithm 1 is used to identify structures of the given data set, that is, the optimal number of rules of system ; Algorithm 2 is used to identify parameter of the used model. The former is belonged to unsupervised learning, and the latter is belonged to supervised learning. To identify parameters of fuzzy model, we developed a neural network which is referred to as Unsymmetrical Gaussian Function Network (UGFN). Unlike traditional fuzzy modelling methods, in the present method, a) the optimal number of rules (clusters) is determined by input-output data pairs rather than by only output data as in sugeno's method, b) parameter identification of the present model is based on a like-RBF network rather than backpropagation algorithm. Our method is simple and effective because it integrates fuzzy logic with neural networks from basic network principles to neural architecture, thereby establishing an unifying framework for different fuzzy modelling methods such as one with cluster analysis or neural networks and so on.
