- Abstract
Incomplete data are frequently encountered and bring difficulties when it comes to further processing. The concepts of granular computing (GrC) help deliver a higher level of abstraction to address this problem. Most of the existing data imputation and related modeling methods are of numeric nature and require prior numeric models to be provided. The underlying objective of this study is to introduce a novel and straightforward approach that uses information granules as a vehicle to effectively represent missing data and build granular fuzzy models directly from resulting hybrid granular and numeric data. The evaluation and optimization of this method are guided by the principle of justifiable granularity engaging the coverage and specificity criteria and carried out with the help of particle swarm optimization. We provide a collection of experimental studies using a synthetic dataset and several publicly available real-world datasets to demonstrate the feasibility and analyze the main features of this method.

Abstract Fuzzy rule-based models have attracted attention because of their modular architectures, well-developed design methodologies and practices as well as interpretability aspects. Methods exploiting factors of randomness offer significant efficiency and implementation simplicity that are essential in numerous application areas. In this study, we propose an original development of fuzzy rule-based models established with the aid of concepts of randomization algorithms. Several design strategies involving different random prototypes generation and basis functions approximation are studied. We investigate performance aspects of randomized rule-base and look at the performance versus the key components of the models such as the number of rules and the use of the randomized algorithms in the development. Furthermore, a comparative study is offered to quantify the efficiency of randomized algorithms. Experimental studies are reported for a series of publicly available data sets to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and discuss its main features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fuzzy classifiers have been studied in the area of fuzzy sets for a long time resulting in a number of architectures. In this study, we thoroughly investigate and critically assess fuzzy rule-based classifiers. A topology of the classifier is discussed along with a discussion of the role of fuzzy set technology in the construction of condition and conclusion parts of the classification rules. Some optimization mechanisms utilized in the adjustment of information granules forming the rules are presented. Performance of the fuzzy classifiers is quantified in terms of their accuracy and an area under curve ( AUC ) determined for the receiver operating characteristics ( ROC ). The performance of the classifier is evaluated vis-à-vis a collection of triangular norms used in the construction of the fuzzy classifiers. Experimental studies involve synthetic and publicly available data. Furthermore, comparative studies include the experiments with the commonly used non-fuzzy classifiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information granules form an abstract and efficient characterization of large volumes of numeric data. Fuzzy clustering is a commonly encountered information granulation approach. A reconstruction (degranulation) is about decoding information granules into numeric data. In this study, to enhance quality of reconstruction, we augment the generic data reconstruction approach by introducing a transformation mapping of the originally produced partition matrix and setting up an adjustment mechanism modifying a localization of the prototypes. We engage several population-based search algorithms to optimize interaction matrices and prototypes. A series of experimental results dealing with both synthetic and publicly available data sets are reported to show the enhancement of the data reconstruction performance provided by the proposed method.

Fuzzy rule-based models have been widely used due to their interpretability and effectiveness. However, they still encounter challenges when dealing with multivariable and large-scale data. In this study, we first propose a novel approach to establish a selective sampling and mapping data reduction method. The method focuses on reducing data variables while decreasing the number of samples, and an appropriate scaling size can be chosen for different situations. Then, a multivariable data-driven fuzzy rule-based model is developed based on the processed data. Moreover, the data projection approach using the distance metric helps to preserve the structural characteristics of the original data. The results are visually presented to facilitate an interpretable description of the subsequent rule-based modeling. Furthermore, due to the inevitable inaccuracy in the projection process of numeric modeling, we introduce the allocation of information granularity to extend the model to a granular form at a more abstract level. Experimental studies on both synthetic and publicly available datasets demonstrate that the proposed method has superior effectiveness and efficiency compared to the existing state-of-the-art regression algorithms. • We propose a novel selective sampling and mapping data reduction (SSMDR) method to exploit the data structure relationship. • We exploit the advantages of the SSMDR method to handle multivariable data-driven fuzzy modeling problems. • We extend the numerical fuzzy rule-based model to a higher-level granular model that can handle potential information loss. • We develop a comprehensive visual interpretable framework to achieve interpretable analysis in terms of three aspects: visualization structure, interpretable reasoning process, and granular structure.

Granular Computing (GrC) is a human-centric way to discover the fundamental structure of data sets. The resulting information granules can be efficiently exploited to organize knowledge and reveal data descriptions, which can play a pivotal role in the classification problems. Furthermore, information granules are abstract collections of data entities and exhibit flexibility and tolerance when it comes to the representation of incomplete data. However, most of the existing methods focused on the data imputation and classification separately. They also require better interpretability. The crux of this study is to develop a novel information granule-based classification method for incomplete data and a way of representing missing entities and regarding them as information granules in a unified framework. The first aspect focuses on revealing the structural backbone of multiple labeled subspaces of data by fuzzy clustering of missing values. It emerges a classifier with interpretable "IF-THEN" rules by the refinement of fuzzy prototypes in a supervised mode to capture the critical relationship of the multi-class incomplete data. The second aspect concerns the construction of some information granules to impute and represent missing values according to the refined prototypes and classification findings. The experimental studies involved synthetic and publicly available datasets in quantifying the advantages of the classification and representation abilities of the proposed methods on incomplete data. • We proposed a novel information granule-based classifier to reveal the structural of the subspaces of data, which is easier to be interpreted. • We considered incomplete data among classification modeling, so that this classifier can deal with the incomplete data straightforwardly. • We present a refinement mechanism for the information granule-based classifier to optimize the prototypes of the classification rules. • As a byproduct of the classification, the imputed information granules are distinguished from present data and have more tolerance to the imputation error.

Fuzzy rule-based models and the extension of classical fuzzy models have been widely used in many domains. From a holistic perspective, regardless of the design methods and rules adopted in a fuzzy model, the determination of fuzzy sets is a pivotal issue. In the proposed methods, instead of traditional data clustering with no directional tendency, we introduce an optimization algorithm that can adjust the position of the prototypes of zero- and first-order fuzzy models to learn internal structure information from the data in the process of parameter identification. Furthermore, to build a granular fuzzy model, the prototypes are then scaled to more robust intervals by generating information granularity with specific semantics such that they split the whole output space. Particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to adjust both the locations of the prototypes and the allocation of information granularity to improve the performance of the data-driven models. Experimental studies on synthetic and real-world datasets are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
