Migration Guides#

Migrating from 0.9.x to 1.0.0#

API Changes:

# Old way (0.9.x)
from ex_fuzzy import FuzzyClassifier
classifier = FuzzyClassifier(rules=10, antecedents=4)

# New way (1.0.x)
from ex_fuzzy.evolutionary_fit import BaseFuzzyRulesClassifier
classifier = BaseFuzzyRulesClassifier(nRules=10, nAnts=4)

Configuration Changes:

# Old way (0.9.x)
classifier.set_config('tolerance', 0.1)

# New way (1.0.x)
classifier = BaseFuzzyRulesClassifier(tolerance=0.1)

Visualization Changes:

# Old way (0.9.x)
classifier.plot_rules()

# New way (1.0.x)
from ex_fuzzy.eval_tools import FuzzyEvaluator
evaluator = FuzzyEvaluator(classifier)
evaluator.eval_fuzzy_model(X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test, plot_rules=True)
