By incorporating an extra layer for the fuzzification process, the extended architecture is able to fit both type-1 and interval type-2 models. The learning properties of the proposed architecture based on the least-squares estimate method are studied on selected type-1 and interval type-2 ANFIS models. We show that the least-squares estimate method in general behaves differently for interval type-2 ANFIS models compared to type-1 ANFIS models, producing larger errors for interval type-2 ANFIS.
