Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system or adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is a kind of artificial neural network that is based on Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy inference system. The technique was developed in the early 1990s.^[1][2] Since it integrates both neural networks and fuzzy logic principles, it has potential to capture the benefits of both in a single framework. Its inference system corresponds to a set of fuzzy IF–THEN rules that have learning capability to approximate nonlinear functions.^[3] Hence, ANFIS is considered to be a universal estimator.^[4] For using the ANFIS in a more efficient and optimal way, one can use the best parameters obtained by genetic algorithm.^[5]
