Abstract
It is important to early detect pathological brains. Traditional methods used plain support vector machine (SVM) that is vulnerable to noises and outliers. In this study, we presented a hybrid method that combined wavelet-energy (WE) and fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM). The results over a 5x5-fold cross validation showed that the proposed "WE + FSVM" produced accuracy of 93.78%, higher than "WE + KSVM" of 91.78%, "DWT + PCA + RBF-NN" of 91.33%, "WE + BP-NN" of 86.67%, and "DWT + PCA + BP-NN" of 86.22%. Therefore, this study offered a new means to solve the problem with excellent performance.
