Ant colony optimization (ACO) has been used successfully in data mining field to extract rule based classification systems. The Objective of this paper is to utilize ACO to extract a set of rules for diagnosis of diabetes disease.Since the new presented algorithm uses ACO to extract fuzzy If-Then rules for diagnosis of diabetes disease, we call it FADD. We have evaluated our new classification system via Pima Indian Diabetes data set. Results show FADD can detect the diabetes disease with an acceptable accuracy and competitive or even better than the results achieved by previous works. In addition, the discovered rules have good comprehensibility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
