Fault Diagnosis Using Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network Classifier

In this paper Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network (FMN) classifier is used for Fault Diagnosis applications. It is a 3-layer architecture and uses a fuzzy membership function to reason about class label of a test pattern. We have collected two standard data sets-one from UCI repository and other from NASA, for experimentation purpose. Each data set is divided in two sets namely Training and Testing, using around half of the patterns. Above said Neural Network is trained using Training set and its performance is calculated using Test set. From the calculated performance it is found that the FMN performs well for both the data sets. By observing training, one can note that training time is more, but since training needs to be done only once it should not be treated as a serious handicap. Recall time per pattern is very small, thus the given neural network can be used for real time fault diagnostic purpose.
