An incremental learning system for imprecise and uncertain knowledge discovery.

Introduces the Fuzzy Incremental Production Rule (FIPR) based method for imprecise and uncertain knowledge acquisition. Mathematical and heuristic basics of the FIPR method; Information on the knowledge discovery process and the inference engine of the FIPR method; Discussion on the benefits of the method; Comparative analysis of the precision, complexity and knowledge representation formalisms of the FIPR machine learning method.
