Abstract: Abstract Nonlinear fuzzy classification models have better classification performance than linear fuzzy classifiers. In many nonlinear fuzzy classification problems, piecewise-linear fuzzy discriminant functions can approximate nonlinear fuzzy discriminant functions. In this paper, we first build fuzzy classifier based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) for incremental separable fuzzy training data, which can be widely applied in the healthcare management with fuzzy attributes, then we apply the proposed fuzzy DEA-based classifier in the diagnosis of Coronary with fuzzy symptoms and the classification of breast cancer dataset with fuzzy disturbance. Numerical experiments show the proposed fuzzy DEA-based classifier is accurate and robust.
