<![CDATA[This paper presents a novel hybrid fuzzy logic approach for the classification of thyroid disease. Hybrid fuzzy logic approaches have brought many benefits to the medical data classification problems such as reasoning on uncertain or incomplete data. The machine learning algorithms had been used with the fuzzy expert systems to define the fuzzy rule base. The optimization techniques had been used in the fuzzy expert systems for optimizing the fuzzy membership functions and fuzzy rules. Enhancing the machine learning algorithms and optimization techniques that are integrated with the fuzzy logic method can improve the overall performance of the fuzzy expert system. To deal with the curse of dimensionality problem and to enhance the integration of machine learning algorithm and fuzzy logic method, this paper presents an incremental learning based parallel fuzzy reasoning system (IL-PFRS) for medical diagnosis. In this research work, the decision tree classifier is used to extract the features from dataset. IL-PFRS is applied to classify the thyroid disease which is serious disease that needs attention and earlier detection. The thyroid disease dataset obtained from the UCI machine learning repository is used in this research work where the IL-PFRS showed the classification accuracy of 99% when testing using this dataset.]]>
