Improving Classifications of Medical Data Based on Fuzzy ART2 Decision Trees

چکیده
Analyzing given medical databases provide valuable references for classifying other patients symptoms. This study presents a strategy for discovering fuzzy decision trees from medical databases, in particular Harbeman’s Survival database and the Blood Transfusion Service Center database. Harbeman’s Survival database helps doctors treat and diagnose a group of patients who show similar past medical symptoms and the Blood Transfusion Service Center database advises individuals about when to donate blood. The proposed data mining procedure involves neural network based clustering using Adaptive Resonance Theory 2 (ART2), and the extraction of fuzzy decision trees for each homogeneous cluster of data records using fuzzy set theory. Besides, another objective of this paper is to examine the effect of the number of membership functions on building decision trees. Experiments confirm that the number of erroneously clustered patterns is significantly reduced compared to other methods without preprocessing data using ART2.

A New Algorithm for Optimization of Fuzzy Decision Tree in Data Mining
Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...
متن کاملUsing Random Forests and Fuzzy Logic for Automated Storm Type Identification
This paper discusses how random forests, ensembles of weakly-correlated decision trees, can be used in concert with fuzzy logic concepts to both classify storm types based on a number of radar-derived storm characteristics and provide a measure of “confidence” in the resulting classifications. The random forest technique provides measures of variable importance and interactions, as well as meth...
