Ordered Fuzzy ARTMAP: A Fuzzy ARTMAP algorithm with a fixed order of pattern presentation

In this paper we introduce a procedure that identifies a fixed order of training pattern presentation for Fuzzy ARTMAP. The resulting algorithm is named Ordered Fuzzy ARTMAP. Experimental results have demonstrated that Ordered Fuzzy ARTMAP achieves a network performance that is better than the average Fuzzy ARTMAP network performance (averaged over a fixed number of random orders of pattern presentations), and occasionally better than the maximum Fuzzy ARTMAP network performance (maximum over a fixed number of random orders of pattern presentations). What is also worth noting is that the computational complexity of the aforementioned procedure is only a small fraction of the computational complexity required to complete the training phase of Fuzzy ARTMAP for a single order of pattern presentation
