New Hybrid Intelligent Systems for Diagnosis and Risk Evaluation of Arterial Hypertension

  • Presents a new approach for diagnosis and risk evaluation of arterial hypertension
  • Demonstrates the implementation of the approach as a hybrid intelligent system combining modular neural networks and fuzzy systems
  • Two genetic algorithms are used to perform the optimization of the modular neural networks parameters and fuzzy inference system parameters
  • The experimental results obtained using the proposed method on real patient data show that when the optimization is used, the results can be better than without optimization
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

In this book, a new approach for diagnosis and risk evaluation of ar-terial hypertension is introduced. The new approach was implement-ed as a hybrid intelligent system combining modular neural net-works and fuzzy systems. The different responses of the hybrid system are combined using fuzzy logic. Finally, two genetic algo-rithms are used to perform the optimization of the modular neural networks parameters and fuzzy inference system parameters. The experimental results obtained using the proposed method on real pa-tient data show that when the optimization is used, the results can be better than without optimization. This book is intended to be a refer-ence for scientists and physicians interested in applying soft compu-ting techniques, such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, in medical diagnosis, but also in general to classification and pattern recognition and similar problems.
