“…Thus, there is still a need for the development of an efficient technique for optimal fuzzy rule generation. Genetic algorithm (GA), a population-based search and optimisation technique [14], had also been used by Hwang and Thompson [15], Kropp and Baitinger [16], Thrift [17], Hashiyama et al [18], Eiji Nawa et al [19], Cupal and Wilamowski [20], Domanski and Arabas [21], Herrera et al [22], and others for this purpose. Moreover, Whitley et al [23] and Ishigami et al [24] proposed the combined GA-NN technique for fuzzy rule generation.…”
