Exploring ANFIS Model for Osteoarthritis Disease Classification

Abstract

Fuzzy Inference systems have given rise to wide applicability in the medical domain. Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is blender of neural network and fuzzy logic, which extracts and combines the best of both. ANFIS uses a black box approach, which is a peculiar characteristic. This paper discusses about three methods used for the diagnosis of Osteoarthritis disease namely- Mamdani method, Sugeno method and ANFIS method. It further presents a comparative performance of these methods.
