  6. Inductive Modeling Techniques • Making Models from Observations of Input/Output Behavior • Understanding Systems • Forecasting Systems Behavior • Controlling Systems Behavior

  7. Comparisons • Deductive Modeling Techniques * have a large degree of validity in many different and even previously unknown applications * are often quite imprecise in their predictions due to inherent model inaccuracies • Inductive Modeling Techniques * have a limited degree of validity and can only be applied to predicting behavior of systems that are essentially known * are often amazingly precise in their predictions if applied carefully Ultimately, there exist only inductive models. Deductive modeling means using models that were previously derived by others --- in an inductive fashion.

  14. Modeling the Error • Making predictions is easy! • Knowing how good the predictions are: That is the real problem! • A modeling/simulation methodology that doesn’t assess its own error is worthless! • Modeling the error can only be done in a statistical sense … because otherwise, the error could be subtracted from the prediction leading to a prediction without the error.

  27. Conclusions • Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning offers an exciting alternative to Neural Networks for modeling systems from observations of behavior. • Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning is highly robust when used correctly. • Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning features a model synthesis capability rather than a model learning approach. It is therefore quite fast in setting up the model. • Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning offers a self-assessment feature, which is easily the most important characteristic of the methodology. • Fuzzy Inductive Reasoning is a practical tool with many industrial applications. Contrary to most other qualitative modeling techniques, FIR doesn´t suffer from scale-up problems.
