Abstract

A novel convex set based neuro-fuzzy algorithm for classification of difficult-to-diagnose instances of breast cancer is described in this paper. The new approach offers rational advantages over the leading neural algorithm - backpropagation. The comparative results obtained using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis show that the ability of the convex set based method to infer knowledge is better than that of backpropagation, making it more suitable for use in real diagnostic systems.
