Abstract

In this study, we introduce a concept of Self-organizing neurofuzzy networks(SONFN), a hybrid modeling architecture combining neurofuzzy networks(NFN) and polynomial neural networks(PNN). We discuss their comprehensive design methodology. The architecture of the SONFN results from a synergistic usage of neural fuzzy networks (NFN) and polynomial neural networks (PNN). We discuss two kinds of SONFN architectures and propose a comprehensive learning algorithm. It is shown that this network exhibits a dynamic structure. The experimental results include well-known software data such as the NASA dataset concerning software cost estimation and the one describing software modules of the Medical Imaging System(MIS).
