Comparison of neurofuzzy logic and neural networks in modelling experimental data of an immediate release tablet formulation

Eur J Pharm Sci. 2006 Aug;28(5):394-404. doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2006.04.007. Epub 2006 Apr 29.

Abstract

This study compares the performance of neurofuzzy logic and neural networks using two software packages (INForm and FormRules) in generating predictive models for a published database for an immediate release tablet formulation. Both approaches were successful in developing good predictive models for tablet tensile strength and drug dissolution profiles. While neural networks demonstrated a slightly superior capability in predicting unseen data, neurofuzzy logic had the added advantage of generating rule sets representing the cause-effect relationships contained in the experimental data.
