Nonlinear Dynamic System Identification Based on Multiobjectively Selected RBF Networks

In this paper, nonlinear dynamic system identification by using multiobjectively selected RBF network is considered. RBF networks are widely used as a model structure for nonlinear systems. The determination of its structure that is the number of basis functions is prior important step in system identification, and the tradeoff between model complexity and accuracy exists in this problem. By using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, the candidates of the RBF network structure are obtained in the sense of Pareto optimality. We discuss an application to system identification by using such RBF networks having Pareto optimal structures. Some numerical simulations for nonlinear dynamic systems are carried out to show the applicability of the proposed approach.
