In this paper, we introduce a new category of fuzzy models called a fuzzy ensemble of parallel polynomial neural network (FEP2N2), which consist of a series of polynomial neural networks weighted by activation levels of information granules formed with the use of fuzzy clustering. The two underlying design mechanisms of the proposed networks rely on information granules resulting from the use of fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) and take advantage of polynomial neural networks (PNNs).The resulting model comes in the form of parallel polynomial neural networks. In the design procedure, in order to estimate the optimal values of the coefficients of polynomial neural networks we use a weighted least square estimation algorithm. We incorporate various types of structures as the consequent part of the fuzzy model when using the learning algorithm. Among the diverse structures being available, we consider polynomial neural networks, which exhibit highly nonlinear characteristics when being viewed as local learning models.We use FCM to form information granules and to overcome the high dimensionality problem. We adopt PNNs to find the optimal local models, which can describe the relationship between the input variables and output variable within some local region of the input space.We show that the generalization capabilities as well as the approximation abilities of the proposed model are improved as a result of using polynomial neural networks. The performance of the network is quantified through experimentation in which we use a number of benchmarks already exploited within the realm of fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.
