A bi-level belief rule based decision support system for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer

作者：

Highlights：

• A bi-level belief rule based model is proposed for diagnosing gastric cancer.

• A clonal selection algorithm based method is proposed for optimizing the model.

• A case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

• Comparative studies show the better performance of the proposed method.
