Credit scoring is an important topic and banks collect different data from their loan applicants to make appropriate and correct decisions. Rule bases are favourite in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants. This paper, uses four feature selection approaches as features pre-processing combined with fuzzy apriori. These methods a...

The TSK model introduced by Takagi Sugeno and Kang TSK fuzzy reasoning is associated with fuzzy rules that have a special format with a func tional type consequent instead of the fuzzy consequent that normally appears in the MamdamiModel In this way the TSK approach tries to decompose the input space into subspaces and then approximate the system in each subspace by a simple linear regression m...

Traditional statistical tools for performing regression cannot handle the large uncertainties present in a fuzzy number dataset. Therefore we will have to rely on techniques developed for interval analysis (Moore 1966; Moore 1979). A useful property of algorithms that handle fuzzy numbers is that they can be rewritten in terms of intervals allowing the powerful mathematical tools of interval an...

In fuzzy set theory, it is well known that a triangular fuzzy number can be uniquely determined through its position and entropies. In the present communication, we extend this concept on triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number for its one-to-one correspondence with its position and entropies. Using the concept of fuzzy entropy the estimators of the intuitionistic fuzzy regression coefficients h...

In order to estimate fuzzy regression models, possibilistic and least-squares procedures can be considered. By taking into account a least-squares approach, regression models with crisp or fuzzy inputs and crisp or fuzzy output are suggested. In particular, for these fuzzy regression models, unconstrained and constrained (with inequality restrictions) least-squares estimation procedures are dev...
