Abstract

The classification of survival in severe burnt patients is an on-going problem. In this paper we propose a multiobjective optimisation model with constraints to obtain fuzzy classification models based on the criteria of accuracy and interpretability. We also describe a multiobjective evolutionary approach for fuzzy classification based on data with real and discrete attributes. This approach is evaluated using three different evolutive schemas: pre-selection with niches, NSGA-II and ENORA. The results are compared as regards efficacy by statistical techniques.
