Hybrid approach of type-2 fuzzy inference system and PSO in asthma disease

Abstract

This research work presents a hybrid approach combining a type-2 fuzzy inference system with particle swarm optimization (PSO) to develop a type-2 fuzzy optimized inference system, specifically tailored for asthma patient data. Addressing the inherent uncertainty in medical diagnostics, this model enhances traditional type-1 fuzzy logic by incorporating ambiguity into linguistic variables and utilizing type-2 fuzzy if-then rules. The system is trained to minimize diagnostic error in asthma disease identification. Applied to a dataset comprising eight medical entities from asthma patients, the model demonstrates substantial accuracy improvements. Numerical computations validate the system, showing a decrease in error rate from 1.445 to 0.03, indicating a significant enhancement in diagnostic precision. These results underscore the potential of our model in medical diagnostic problems, providing a novel and effective tool for tackling the complexities of asthma diagnosis.
