One unique feature of neural networks is that they have to be trained to function. In developing an iterative neural network technique for model updating of structures, it has been shown that the number of training samples required increases exponentially as the number of parameters to be updated in

β¦ Synopsis
A simple and e!ective method for selecting signi"cant input variables and determining optimal number of fuzzy rules when building a fuzzy model from data is proposed. In contrast to the existing clustering-based methods, in this approach both input selecting and partition validating are determined on the basis of a class of sub-clusters created by a self-organising network instead of on the data. The important input variables which independently and signi"cantly in#uence the system output can be extracted by a fuzzy neural network. On the other hand, the optimal number of fuzzy rules can be determined separately via the fuzzy c-means algorithm with a modi"ed fuzzy entropy as the criterion of cluster validation. The simulation results show that the proposed method can provide good model structures for fuzzy modelling and has high computing e$ciency.
