Abstract

An effective fuzzy classifier is proposed for solving a benchmark cancer diagnosis problem. This system comprises the use of optimized fuzzy membership functions through Genetic Algorithms, while the associated rules are generated from numerical data. In addition, a modified nearest-neighbour method is recommended to remedy the drawback of rules confinement. The end result convinces that this approach has the ability to handle classification problems with large data dimension.
