Hierarchical fuzzy modeling is a promising technique to describe input-output relationships of nonlinear systems with multiple input. This paper presents a new method of dividing input spaces for hierarchical fuzzy modeling using the Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). Uneven division of input space for each submodel in the hierarchical fuzzy model can be achieved with the proposed method. The obtained hierarchical fuzzy models are likely more concise and more precise than those identified with conventional methods. Studies on effects of the weights on performance indices of generality and conciseness of the fuzzy model are also shown in this paper.
