Diagnosis of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) with Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

In this work, we developed a fuzzy decision-making method to help diagnose of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), with the support of a doctor who is an expert in the field, and we briefly called it the FMF fuzzy diagnosis method (FMF-FDM). In the decision-making mechanism, we used the Mamdani method, which is one of the fuzzy logic inference methods.
