Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network Using a Correntropy Criterion for Nonlinear System Identification

Abstract

Recent researches have demonstrated that the Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs) are an efficient tool to identify nonlinear systems. In these structures, features related to fuzzy logic, wavelet functions, and neural networks are combined in an architecture similar to the Adaptive Neurofuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS). In practical applications, the experimental data set used in the identification task often contains unknown noise and outliers, which decrease the FWNN model reliability. In order to reduce the negative effects of these erroneous measurements, this work proposes the direct use of a similarity measure based on information theory in the FWNN learning procedure. The Mean Squared Error (MSE) cost function is replaced by the Maximum Correntropy Criterion (MCC) in the traditional error backpropagation (BP) algorithm. The input-output maps of a real nonlinear system studied in this work are identified from an experimental data set corrupted by different outliers rates and additive white Gaussian noise. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed cost function using the MCC as compared to the MSE. This work also investigates the influence of the kernel size on the performance of the MCC in the BP algorithm, since it is the only free parameter of correntropy.

A Hybrid Modified PSO System Identification Method Based on the Asynchronous Time-Dependent Learning Factor

“…In the early stage of iteration, larger inertia weight can make the algorithm not easy to fall into a local optimum, and in the later stage, smaller one can make the optimization process converge faster and more smoothly to ensure a stable system convergence. The specific expression is shown as (2).Where w max is the maximum inertia weight, wmin is the minimum inertia weight, t is the current iteration times, iter is the total times of iteration.…”

“…These algorithms have been studied a lot, for example, recursive least squares algorithm was used to identify the model parameters [1] and neural networks was also used to achieve an effective identification [2] . Swarm intelligence algorithm specifically includes PSO and the fruit flies algorithm i.e.…”

Video Synchronization With Bit-Rate Signals and Correntropy Function

“…Therefore, it works better than correlation when applied to non-Gaussian and nonlinear signals. This concept has been successfully applied in several engineering problems [ 28 ], such as in nonlinearity tests [ 29 ], in estimating a time delay from a signal pair [ 28 ], and in measuring respiratory and heart rates with a photoplethysmogram [ 30 ].…”
