Abstract

The use of linguistic rulesets is considered one of the greatest advantages that fuzzy classification systems can offer compared to non-fuzzy classification systems. This paper proposes the use of fuzzy thresholds and fuzzy quantifiers for generating linguistic rulesets from a data-driven fuzzy subsethood-based classification system. The proposed technique offers not only simplicity in the design and comprehensibility of the generated rulesets but also practicality in the implementation. Additionally, the use of fuzzy quantifiers makes it easier for the user to understand the classification process and how such classifications were reached. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a medical dataset which provides evidence that rules generated by the proposed system are consistent with the expert-rules created by clinicians.
