Improving Accuracy of Integrated Neuro-Fuzzy Classifier with FCM based Clustering for Diagnosis of Psychiatric Disorder

Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopment disorder. Clinical decision-making process is complex. Due to complex nature of disease sign and its symptoms clinical decision making may lead to misclassification. To deal with such complex medical problems methods or approaches of soft computing play an important role. This paper will focus on presenting an integrated Neuro-fuzzy model. This integrated model has the learning strength of neural network and knowledge representation ability of fuzzy logic. Modified Adaptive Neuro –Fuzzy inference system (M-ANFIS) is used here for classification and predication. Here Fuzzy C-mean (FCM) Clustering is used first to make classes of data before presenting in to ANFIS. This FCM based class will reduce the classifier computational overhead. Precision error and recall, F-measure and accuracy matrices are used to compare the experimental results with other classic methods.
