This paper presents the novel enhanced Wagner–Hagras interval type-3 Takagi–Sugeno–Kang fuzzy logic system with type-1 non-singleton inputs (EWH IT3 TSK NSFLS-1) that uses the backpropagation (BP) algorithm to train the antecedent and consequent parameters. The proposed methodology dynamically changes the parameters of only the alpha-0 level, minimizing some criterion functions as the current information becomes available for each alpha-k level. The novel fuzzy system was applied in two industrial processes and several fuzzy models were used to make comparisons. The experiments demonstrated that the proposed fuzzy system has a superior ability to predict the critical variables of the tested processes with lower prediction errors than those produced by the benchmark fuzzy systems.

A novel learning methodology based on a hybrid mechanism for training interval singleton type-2 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy logic systems uses recursive orthogonal least-squares to tune the type-1 consequent parameters and the steepest descent method to
