Rule induction as a method of constructing classifiers is of particular interest to data mining because it generates models in the form of If-Then rules which are more expressive and easier for humans to comprehend and check. Several induction algorithms have been developed to learn classification rules. However, most of these algorithms are based on ‘crisp’ data and produce ‘crisp’ models. This paper presents FuzzySRI, a novel algorithm based on the techniques of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic for inducing fuzzy classification rules. The algorithm possesses the clear knowledge representation capability of rule induction methods and the ability of fuzzy techniques to handle vague information. Experimental results show that FuzzySRI can outperform other fuzzy and non-fuzzy learning systems in terms of predictive accuracy, comprehensibility, and computational efficiency. It is also shown that FuzzySRI can be successfully applied to an industrial application concerning the automatic identification of machine faults.

Gesonia gemma Swinhoe (1885) is a grey semi-looper and it has emerged as a serious threat to the soybean crop. This defoliator causes heavy damage to the crop in the form of loss in grain weight. Gesonia gemma population dynamics was studied in various districts of Maharashtra. Sequential covering algorithm (CN2 rule induction) has been proposed for rule induction model to generate a list of classification rules with target feature (G. gemma population) and the independent abiotic features. The classification rules have exhibited more accuracy and showed that maximum temperature and humidity with less number of rainy days has influenced the population of Gesonia gemma in Maharashtra. Hence, this rule induction model can be used to study the collected evidence for prediction and it will be helpful to the farmers to take necessary pest control strategy.
