Abstract

Understanding data is usually done extracting fuzzy or crisp logical rules using neurofuzzy systems, decision trees and other approaches. Prototype-based rules are an interesting alternative providing in many cases simpler, more accurate and more comprehensible description of the data. Algorithm for generation of threshold prototype-based rules are described and a comparison with neurofuzzy systems on a number of datasets provided. Results show that systems for data understanding generating prototypes deserve at least the same attention as that enjoyed by the neurofuzzy systems.
