Overview

About

Maintained by Christoph BergmeirCRAN page ↗

An implementation of various learning algorithms based on fuzzy rule-based systems (FRBSs) for dealing with classification and regression tasks. Moreover, it allows to construct an FRBS model defined by human experts. FRBSs are based on the concept of fuzzy sets, proposed by Zadeh in 1965, which aims at representing the reasoning of human experts in a set of IF-THEN rules, to handle real-life problems in, e.g., control, prediction and inference, data mining, bioinformatics data processing, and robotics. FRBSs are also known as fuzzy inference systems and fuzzy models. During the modeling of an FRBS, there are two important steps that need to be conducted: structure identification and parameter estimation. Nowadays, there exists a wide variety of algorithms to generate fuzzy IF-THEN rules automatically from numerical data, covering both steps. Approaches that have been used in the past are, e.g., heuristic procedures, neuro-fuzzy techniques, clustering methods, genetic algorithms, squares methods, etc. Furthermore, in this version we provide a universal framework named 'frbsPMML', which is adopted from the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML), for representing FRBS models. PMML is an XML-based language to provide a standard for describing models produced by data mining and machine learning algorithms. Therefore, we are allowed to export and import an FRBS model to/from 'frbsPMML'. Finally, this package aims to implement the most widely used standard procedures, thus offering a standard package for FRBS modeling to the R community.

Changes in 3.3-0

CRAN compliance fixes

DESCRIPTION: Replaced deprecated Author/Maintainer fields with the modern Authors@R field using person() objects.
inst/CITATION: Replaced deprecated citEntry() with bibentry(), and replaced personList(as.person(...)) with c(person(...)).
man/summary.frbs.Rd: Fixed two "lost braces" warnings reported by checkRd: added missing \ before code{"TRIANGLE"}, and escaped bare curly braces around the example parameter vector.
vignettes/lala2015frbs.bib: Added missing bibliography entries randomforest2 (Breiman 2001, *Machine Learning*) and nnet2 (Venables & Ripley 2002, *Modern Applied Statistics with S*) referenced in the vignette.

DESCRIPTION, man/frbs-package.Rd, inst/CITATION: Updated all http:// URLs to https://. Replaced broken sci2s.ugr.es/dicits/software/FRBS URL (returning HTTP 500) with the canonical CRAN package page https://cran.r-project.org/package=frbs.
inst/doc/*.pdf: Compacted vignette PDFs with tools::compactPDF(gs_quality = "ebook") to remove the R CMD check --as-cran PDF size WARNING.

Win-builder fixes

R/FRBS.MainFunction.R, NAMESPACE: Addressed S3 method consistency NOTE by adapting rep.rule signature to function(x, ...) and registering S3method(rep, rule).
vignettes/lala2015frbs.ltx, vignettes/lala2015pmml.Rtex: Canonicalized URLs to https:// and fixed the malformed CRAN URL http://cran.r-project.org/package=frbs..
vignettes/lala2015frbs.bib, vignettes/lala2015pmml.bib: Replaced non-canonical and unstable links with canonical https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=... URLs where applicable, and updated remaining references to modern https:// endpoints.
vignettes/lala2015frbs.bib: Fixed further URL redirects — library.epfl.ch → https://www.epfl.ch/campus/library/fr/?nr=2634, added missing trailing slash to www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/, and http://www.rmetrics.org → https://www.rmetrics.org/.
vignettes/lala2015pmml.Rtex: Replaced two occurrences of the broken sci2s.ugr.es/dicits/software/frbsJpmml URL (returning HTTP 500) with https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=frbs.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("frbs", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-frbs

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-frbs

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-frbs

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
