A comparative study of fuzzy and neural network approaches to discriminant analysis with linguistic variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a fuzzy discriminant analysis to solve the two-group classification problem where the measured variables are linguistic in nature. Especially under imprecise framework, the linguistic variables capture more information although vagueness is inherent. In analogy to classical statistics, a fuzzy linear discriminant function is introduced here, which directly deals with continuous fuzzy numbers as the representative of linguistic values to obtain fuzzy scores for classification. To make a comparative study, the backpropagation neural network approach has also been studied in this paper. Finally admission to management programme is considered as an example of the application on two-level classification problem of the proposed method.

Enhancing Efficiency of Neural Network Model in Prediction of Firms Financial Crisis Using Input Space Dimension Reduction Techniques
The main focus in this study is on data pre-processing, reduction in number of inputs or input space size reduction the purpose of which is the justified generalization of data set in smaller dimensions without losing the most significant data. In case the input space is large, the most important input variables can be identified from which insignificant variables are eliminated, or a variable ...
