8.4 The Model Building Methodology

In the next few sections the underlying temperature forecasting model is

defined and then created using the rule induction engine. In constructing

a model, we need to observe a regular process or methodology that

addresses the nature of the data as well as the nature of the target model.

As Figure 8.15 schematically illustrates, creating and verifying a fuzzy

rule-based model from a training set of data involves a definite set of

steps.

The overall model construction process is relatively straightforward.

The individual steps, however, can be complicated and often time con-

suming ...
