Type-1 Fuzzy Functions for Classification, Regression, and Forecasting
Overview
Fits Type-1 Fuzzy Function models for binary classification, numeric regression, and time-series forecasting with user-supplied temporal predictors. The package combines fuzzy C-means memberships, nonlinear membership transformations, cluster-specific linear or support vector machine models, and membership-weighted predictions. It also provides model evaluation, validation, K-fold and stratified K-fold tuning, and repeated nested cross-validation with task-appropriate metrics. The regression workflow can be used for forecasting when temporal dependence is represented by lagged or seasonal predictors and assessment partitions preserve chronological order.
- Initial public development release.
- Added Type-1 Fuzzy Function models for binary classification and numeric regression using fuzzy C-means and membership-weighted local predictions.
- Added formula and column interfaces, categorical predictor encoding, feature scaling, and explicit missing-value handling.
- Added automatic separation detection, dependency-free ridge-logistic fallback, and configurable probability clipping.
- Added validation, K-fold, and stratified K-fold hyperparameter tuning with task-appropriate metrics.
- Added MAPE and SMAPE regression metrics to tuning, evaluation, and nested benchmarking, with explicit handling of zero actual values.
- Added efficient joint tuning of cluster count, fuzziness, and classification threshold for threshold-dependent metrics.

- Added model evaluation and repeated nested cross-validation with matched logistic or linear regression baselines.
- Added optional probabilistic SVM and epsilon-SVR learners within fuzzy clusters via
local_model = "svm". - Tightened public-input validation for integer resampling controls, logical scaling flags, classification labels, and validation split sizes.
- Ensured unresolved final-model GLM instability warnings remain visible after tuning while routine candidate-fit warnings stay contained.
- Added a comprehensive vignette and PDF reference manual.
