Multicriteria fuzzy classification procedure PROCFTN: methodology and medical application

Abstract: Abstract.In this paper we introduce a new classification procedure for assigning objects to predefined classes, named PROCFTN. This procedure is based on a fuzzy scoring function for choosing a subset of prototypes, which represent the closest resemblance with an object to be assigned. It then applies the majority-voting rule to assign an object to a class. We also present a medical application of this procedure as an aid to assist the diagnosis of central nervous system tumours. The results are compared with … Show more

“…NN techniques have been frequently used for prediction (Radhika & Shashi, 2009;Smith et al, 2009), pattern recognition (Isa & Mamat, 2011), signal processing (Li & Adali, 2008;Nielsen et al, 2009) and classification (Belacel & Boulassel, 2004;Yuan-Pin et al, 2007). NN present a number of advantages over conventional empirical methods.…”

“…The fuzzy indifference relation is based on the concordance and non-discordance principle which represents the relationship (membership degree) between the object to be assigned and the prototype [7,10]; it is formulated as: where w jh is the weight that measures the importance of a relevant attribute g j of a specific class C h :…”

“…On these cases a different approach like a fuzzy logic system is needed. Fuzzy systems have been applied for a number of different problems of classification such as medical applications [8], soil classification [9], fish grading [10], etc. For the crater classification process, a number of problems are inherited from the ambiguity and vagueness of the definitions, and because of this, the use of a fuzzy system was considered.…”
