Interpretability and Accuracy Analysis of Fuzzy Rule Based System Designed for Abalone

Abstract

Fuzzy Rule Based Systems are playing vital role in the implementation of human decision making. The development of interpretable Fuzzy Rule Based Systems with improved accuracy is a crucial research aspect in fuzzy based systems. Mamdani type fuzzy rule based systems are used to implement the proposed model. In this manuscript a FRBS is implemented with Guaje Open-Access Java based software. The interpretability and accuracy assessments are recorded on the different experiments with various rule generation methods, like Fuzzy decision tree and Wang Mendel method. The results are found satisfactory and a trade-off is handled between interpretability and accuracy. The major concern of the experimentation is number and type of fuzzy partitions. K-means and Hierarchical Fuzzy Partitions are used in the experiments with three and five number of fuzzy partitions.
