Considering an absence of studies pertaining to wind speed prediction that utilise state-of-the-art fuzzy models, the proposed approach adopted a novel higher-order Takagi\u2013Sugeno\u2013Kang fuzzy model intermixed with variational mode decomposition. The novelty of the predictive fuzzy model arises from the enhancement of rule consequents to include generalised terms and the incorporation of model complexity into the training scheme. To optimise the model, two approaches are considered: an adaptive differential evolution and a surrogate-based optimisation algorithm. The evolutionary approach employed two populations and a dual mutation scheme. The surrogate-based optimisation employed a Bayesian framework by fitting a Gaussian process model to the objective function. The latter approach yielded accurate predictive results while rapidly reducing the training time of the fuzzy model. A sequential wrapper-based algorithm was developed to effectively determine the feature space. The variational mode decomposed wind speed data were predicted individually, using an associated optimised fuzzy model. The proposed method was applied to a real-world wind speed dataset with exceptional approximation results. Comparisons with several artificial intelligence models highlighted the effectiveness and statistical significance of the methodology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a19010046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,5]],"date-time":"2026-01-05T12:38:56Z","timestamp":1767616736000},"page":"46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bayesian Optimisation and Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithms for Higher-Order Fuzzy Models with Application on Wind Speed Prediction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8011-3161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Korkidis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of West Attica, 12243 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2204-3955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anastasios","family":"Dounis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of West Attica, 12243 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"392","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apenergy.2019.04.188","article-title":"Data processing strategies in wind energy forecasting models and applications: A comprehensive review","volume":"249","author":"Liu","year":"2019","journal-title":"Appl.
