Abstract

This paper presents a model specific for medical diagnosis developed with Neurofuzzy techniques based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF) network. The model provides a user-friendly interface, to the experts in the medical domain with the possibility to design diagnostic applications without deep background knowledge on Neuro networks and fuzzy logic. Given a set of symptoms and test results, assess pathological situations identifying which diseases justify the particular findings. Systematic approach for constructing RBF neural networks, which was developed to facilitate their training by supervised learning algorithms based on K-means clustering algorithm. The key point in design of RBF networks is to specify the number and the locations of the centers. Several learning methods, which apply a clustering algorithm for locating the centers and subsequently a least means squares algorithm for the linear weights. The combinatorial neuro- fuzzy model based on RBF for the diagnosis of psychosomatic disorder can achieve the performance similar to that of the human expert.
