Abstract :
A novel hybrid neuro-fuzzy rule-based system is presented for prognostic decision making in prostate cancer patients. The results are further compared with those of multilayer feedforward backpropagation neural networks (MLFFBPNN), fuzzy k-nearest neighbour classifier (FK-NN) and logistic regression (LR).
