Abstract

The objective of this study was to design, to implement and to validate a framework for the development of decision system support based on fuzzy set theory using clusters and dynamic tables. To validate the proposed framework, a fuzzy inference system was developed with the aim to classify breast cancer and compared with other related works (Literature). The fuzzy Inference System has three input variables. The results show that the Kappa Statistics and accuracy were 0.9683 and 98.6%, respectively for the output variable for the Fuzzy Inference System – FIS, showing a better accuracy than some literature results. The proposed framework may provide an effective means to draw a pattern to the development of fuzzy systems.
