Abstract:- The purpose of this study is to develop a
classification model for monitoring the risk of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) among females using
information about non-invasive risk factors. The specific
research objectives are to identify the risk factors that
are associated with the risk of STDs; formulate the
classification model; and simulate the model. Structured
interview with expert physicians was done in order to
identify the risk factors that are associated with the risk
of STDs Nigeria following which relevant data was
collected. Fuzzy Triangular Membership functions was
used to map labels of the input risk factors and output
STDs risk of the classification model identified to
associated linguistic variables. The inference engine of
the classification model was formulated using IF-THEN
rules to associate the labels of the input risk factors to
their respective risk of still birth. The model was
simulated using the fuzzy logic toolbox available in the
MATLAB® R2015a Simulation Software. The results
showed that 9 non-invasive risk factors were associated
with the risk of STDs among female patients in Nigeria.
The risk factors identified were marital status, socio-
economic status, toilet facility used, age at first sexual
intercourse, practice sex protection, sexual activity (in
last 2 weeks), lifetime partners, practice casual sex and
history of STDs. 2, 3 and 4 triangular membership
functions were appropriate for the formulation of the
linguistic variables of the factors while the target risk
was formulated using four triangular membership
functions for the linguistic variables no risk, low risk,
moderate risk and high risk. The 2304 inferred rules
were formulated using IF-THEN statements which
adopted the values of the factors as antecedent and the
STDs as consequent part of each rule. This study
concluded that using information about the risk factors
that are associated with the risk of STDs, fuzzy logic
modeling was adopted for predicting the risk of STD
based on knowledge about the risk factors.
Key Words: STD, classification model, fuzzy logic,
simulation, membership function, risk factor.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are
infections that can be transferred from one person to
another during sexual activity. Common STDs are HIV
human immunodeficiency virus, chlamydia, gonorrhoea,
syphilis and trichomoniasis [1]. STDs could be either
ulcerative or non-ulcerative. In developing countries,
STDs exhibit a higher incidence and prevalence rates
than developed countries [2]. The prevalence of STDs
among Nigeria female youths is 17% [3]. In 2016, World
Health Organisation (WHO) released its Global health
sector strategy on STDs in year 2016 to 2021. The
Strategy envisions that by year 2030, rates of congenital
syphilis will be reduced to less than 50 cases per 100
000 live births in 80% of countries; and the incidence of
infections with T. pallidum (syphilis) and N. gonorrhoeae
(gonorrhoea) would have fallen by 90% globally
between year 2018 and 2030. To achieve its goals, a
critical component of the Global STD Strategy is
strengthening STD surveillance and programme
monitoring systems [1]. However, the global burden of
STDs remains high [4]. Hence the research for more
predictive expert systems for monitoring of STDs risk
remains an open research.
The usage of Information Communication
Technology (ICT) in health has the potential to improve
the quality of health care as stated by many researchers
who supported the belief. Predictive research, which
aims to predict future events or outcomes based on
patterns within a set of variables, has become
increasingly popular in medical research. Accurate
predictive models such as fuzzy logic models can inform
patients and physicians about the future course of an
illness or the risk of developing illness and thereby help
guide decisions on screening and/or treatment [5].
Fuzzy logic is a basic concept for embedding structured
human knowledge into workable algorithms that
constitutes fuzzy models [6]. Fuzzy logic is an alternative
to probability theory in which outcome represents the

degree to which it leads to true or false. Fuzzy logic will
be beneficial to work on incomplete, vagueness and
uncertain problems. It totally depends upon membership
functions based upon optimum results for given
application. The conventional approach based on crisp
sets to evaluate the results but with fuzzy logic we step
forward to implement with fuzzy sets for approximate
reasoning. So, it behaves as mimic nature as of human
thinking to deal with specific problem. Fuzzy logic totally
based on fuzzy if-then rules to produce an output for an
application. Fuzzy rule based inference approach
combines all three basic representation as matching,
inference and combination to meet the final response.
There are two ways to demonstrate fuzzy rules based on
fuzzy mapping and fuzzy implication. The role of fuzzy
mapping lies when we don’t know all the values of the
parameters in specific application whereas fuzzy
implication focused on approximate reasoning with
different statements. The purpose of fuzzification is to
convert crisp sets to fuzzy sets. Therefore fuzzy logic can
generate an intelligent machine which resembles the
working as of human brain. To tackle the emergent need
to society in medical field, the contribution of fuzzy logic
is growing rapidly in every sector of medicine [7].
Following this, the study intends to apply fuzzy logic
modelling to the development of a predictive model
which can be used to assess the risk of STDs among
young females.
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
[8] developed an expert system to diagnose
asthma by assigning parameters with fuzzy logic. The
whole representation was performed in Iran and
concluded with 100% specificity and 94% sensitivity. In
the same vein, [9] developed an expert system for adult
asthma diagnosis using Neuro-Fuzzy fitting tool with
SOM, LVQ and BPNN algorithms. The back-propagation
considered to be the best among all at epoch 9 by
providing 535 samples. Another classification was done
by [10] for asthma and chronic disease with MATLAB
tool profiler with different classification algorithms as
NN and LM which provides 99.41% correctly classified
results with specificity 100% and sensitivity 99.28%.
[11] worked on diagnosing of liver disease on the basis
of expert system collaborated with fuzzy logic. According
to them, the representation was given with Mamdani
approach by using 3 inputs and 1 output variables to
identify the risk factors.
[12] proposed a model to diagnose diabetes
disease based on PCA and ANFIS methodology with 8
input features implemented in MATLAB. The expert
system showed 89.47% accurate with 85% sensitivity,
92% specificity and 0.262 root mean square error. [13]
proposed a model of combining three different diseases
covered in one fuzzy expert approach. He worked on
dental, heart and anemia problem with 11 input
parameters for diagnosing multiple diseases. The system
proved 94.627% accuracy. [14] applied deep learning for
the processing of images of cassava plant for the
detection of plant diseases. The study collected a dataset
of cassava diseases images taken at a field in Tanzania.
The images were analyzed using a transfer leaning to
train a deep convolutional neural network to identify 3
diseases and 2 types of pest damages. The best model
achieved an overall accuracy of 93% for data not used in
the training process. The results also showed that the
transfer learning approach for image recognition of field
images offers a fast, affordable, and easily deployable
strategy for digital plant disease detection.
Also, Dynamic neural network (DNN) was used
to detect time-varying occurrences of tremor and
dyskinesia from time series data acquired from EMG
sensors and triaxial accelerometers worn by Parkinson
patient [15]. Other predictive fuzzy logic models
combine different Artifical Intelligence AI and Machine
Learning ML approaches for reproducing intelligent
human reasoning process [16]. By using information
fusion, hybrid models combine heterogeneous ML
approaches and improve quality of reasoning for
complex regression and classification problems [17].
Neurofuzzy systems combine neural network and fuzzy
logic paradigms to avoid the limitations of neural
network explanations to reach decision and limitations
of fuzzy logic to automatically acquire the rules used for
making decisions [18].
3.0 METHODOLOGY
To actualise this work, the research was divided
into three; identification of ten (10) different risk factors
associated with the risk of STDs among young female
human, membership functions was used for the
formulation of the fuzzy logic model for each risk factor
identified alongside the output target risk of STDs and
the resulting fuzzy logic model is simulated using
MATLAB R2015a software.
3.1 Identification of Risk Factors for STDs
Crisp values were given to each risk factor
assessed as a way of quantifying the response to each
risk factor by a user. Therefore, higher values were given
to intervals that increased the risk while lower values
were given to intervals that reduced the risk of STDs.
Hence, each crisp interval were assigned a linguistic
value that was used as a nominal tag for which each
fuzzy membership function was required to be
formulated based on the values of the crisp interval. The
ten risk factors identified are: marital status, socio-
economic status, toilet facility use, age at first sexual
intercourse, practice sex protection, sexual activities (in
last two weeks), life time number of partners, practice
casual sex, history of STDs and risk of STDs. All these risk
factors are allocated crisp values and linguistic variables
as shown in Table 1.

3.2 Fuzzy Logic Model Formulation for Risk
Factors of STDs
A triangular membership function of the value
(a, b, c) was formulated to depict interval of
such that the parameters are numeric valued. The
interval of this parameter was used to define the crisp
interval within which each crisp value required for
calling the linguistic variable was assigned. Therefore, 2
or 3 triangular membership functions were formulated
for each risk factor that was identified in this study
based on the mathematical expression in equation (1).
Using 2 or 3 triangular membership functions, the

identified risk factors were formulated using the crisp
intervals of (-0.5, 0.5), (0.5, 1.5) and (1.5, 2.5) to model
the linguistic variables for 0, 1 and 2 respectively such
that the values 0, 1 and 2 became the center b of each
interval as shown in Table 2.

3.3 Fuzzification of the risk of STDs
The triangular membership function was used
to formulate the fuzzy logic model for the target variable
by assigning crisp values of 0, 1, 2 and 3 to the target
class labels, namely: No risk, low risk, Moderate risk and
High risk using the intervals (-0.5, 0.5), (0.5, 1.5), (1.5,
2.5) and (2.5, 3.5) respectively. Therefore, four (4)
triangular membership functions were used to formulate
the fuzzy logic model required to describe the 4 labels of
the target class that was used to describe the risk of
STDs using the identified crisp as shown in Table 3. In
order to construct the knowledge base of the
classification model using fuzzy logic, a number of IF-
THEN rules were used by combining the risk factors as
the precedence while the risk of STDs was used as the
consequent variable. The following rule was inferred for
this work;
IF(Present Age = “Above 30 years”) AND (Marital Status =
“Married”) AND (Socio-economic Status = “High Class”)
AND (Toilet facility Used = “Personal”) AND (Age at first
sexual intercourse = “Never”) AND (Practice sex protection
= “Yes”) AND (Sexual Activity in last 2 weeks = “Inactive”)
AND (Lifetime number of partners = “None or One”) THEN
(Risk of STDs = “No Risk”).

4.2 Discussion of Results
This study developed a classification model
which can be used for monitoring the risk of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs) based on information
provided about associated risk factors in female human.
The study identified 9 non-invasive risk factors required
for the classification of the risk of STDs among female
patients. Each risk factor was defined using a number of
linguistic variables for which central crisp values were
assigned based on the association with the risk of STDs.
The higher the association of the linguistic variable then
the higher the central crisp values assigned.
The crisp values for each of the identified risk
factor was done by allocating the values 0, 1, 2 and 3 to
some risk factors with 4 values; values of 0, 1 and to
some risk factors with 3 values; or the values 0 and 1 to
binary risk factors in increasing order of association with
the risk of STDs. Each risk factor was discretized into 2, 3

or 4 parts such that the values of 0 and 1 or 0, 1 and 2 or
0, 1, 2 and 3 were allocated to each linguistic variable
defined. Therefore, crisp intervals with centers of 0, 1, 2
and 3 were used to define the labels of the identified risk
factor using triangular membership functions to identify
labels in intervals [-0.5 0.5], [0.5 1.5], [1.5 2.5] and [2.5 3
3.5] respectively.
For the purpose of establishing a relationship
between the identified non-invasive risk factors
identified, 2304 rules were inferred from the experts in
order to determine the relationship between the risk
factors identified and the risk of STDs. In order to
construct the knowledge base of the classification model
using fuzzy logic, a number of IF-THEN rules were used
by combining the risk factors as the precedence while
the risk of STDs was used as the consequent variable.
Using the risk factors that were identified for assessing
the risk of STDs, the process of inference rule generation
was achieved.
5.0 CONCLUSION
This study developed a fuzzy logic-based model
for the classification of the risk of STDs in order to
mitigate the effect of STDs on the productivity of female
in Nigeria using non-invasive techniques. This study
concluded that using information about the risk factors
that are associated with the risk of STDs, fuzzy logic
modeling was adopted for predicting the risk of STD
based on knowledge about the risk factors. The study
also concluded that the 9 related factors identified were
marital status, socio-economic status, toilet facility used,
age at first sexual intercourse, practice sex protection,
sexual activity (in last 2 weeks), lifetime partners,
practice casual sex and history of STDs. 2, 3 and 4
triangular membership functions were appropriate for
the formulation of the linguistic variables of the
factorswhile the target risk was formulated using four
triangular membership functions for th linguistic
variables no risk, low risk, moderate risk and high risk.
The 2304 inferred rules were formulated using IF-THEN
statements which adopted the values of the factors as
antecedent and the risk of STDs as consequent part of
each rule. The developed fuzzy logic model was
simulated to demonstrate its capabilities in predicting
the risk of STDs in order to mitigate the effect of STDs on
the productivity of female. The study also, recommends
that additional efforts be put place into the identification
of additional non-invasive risk factors required for the
early detection of STDs among females. Also, data about
risk factors associated with STDs should be collected so
that data mining and machine learning algorithms can be
adopted for the development of objective predictive
models which do not depend on expert rules elicited
from experts which may be limited by bias

The specific research objectives are to identify the risk factors that are associated with the risk of STDs; formulate the classification model; and simulate the model. Structured interview with expert physicians was done in order to identify the risk factors that are associated with the risk of STDs Nigeria following which relevant data was collected. Fuzzy Triangular Membership functions was used to map labels of the input risk factors and output STDs risk of the classification model identified to associated linguistic variables. The inference engine of the classification model was formulated using IF-THEN rules to associate the labels of the input risk factors to their respective risk of still birth. The model was simulated using the fuzzy logic toolbox available in the MATLAB® R2015a Simulation Software. The results showed that 9 non-invasive risk factors were associated with the risk of STDs among female patients in Nigeria. The risk factors identified were marital status, socio- economic status, toilet facility used, age at first sexual intercourse, practice sex protection, sexual activity (in last 2 weeks), lifetime partners, practice casual sex and history of STDs. 2, 3 and 4 triangular membership functions were appropriate for the formulation of the linguistic variables of the factors while the target risk was formulated using four triangular membership functions for the linguistic variables no risk, low risk, moderate risk and high risk. The 2304 inferred rules were formulated using IF-THEN statements which adopted the values of the factors as antecedent and the STDs as consequent part of each rule. This study concluded that using information about the risk factors that are associated with the risk of STDs, fuzzy logic modeling was adopted for predicting the risk of STD based on knowledge about the risk factors. Key Words: STD, classification model, fuzzy logic, simulation, membership function, risk factor. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that can be transferred from one person to another during sexual activity. Common STDs are HIV human immunodeficiency virus, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis [1]. STDs could be either ulcerative or non-ulcerative. In developing countries, STDs exhibit a higher incidence and prevalence rates than developed countries [2]. The prevalence of STDs among Nigeria female youths is 17% [3]. In 2016, World Health Organisation (WHO) released its Global health sector strategy on STDs in year 2016 to 2021. The Strategy envisions that by year 2030, rates of congenital syphilis will be reduced to less than 50 cases per 100 000 live births in 80% of countries; and the incidence of infections with T. pallidum (syphilis) and N. gonorrhoeae (gonorrhoea) would have fallen by 90% globally between year 2018 and 2030. To achieve its goals, a critical component of the Global STD Strategy is strengthening STD surveillance and programme monitoring systems [1]. However, the global burden of STDs remains high [4]. Hence the research for more predictive expert systems for monitoring of STDs risk remains an open research. The usage of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in health has the potential to improve the quality of health care as stated by many researchers who supported the belief. Predictive research, which aims to predict future events or outcomes based on patterns within a set of variables, has become increasingly popular in medical research. Accurate predictive models such as fuzzy logic models can inform patients and physicians about the future course of an illness or the risk of developing illness and thereby help guide decisions on screening and/or treatment [5]. Fuzzy logic is a basic concept for embedding structured human knowledge into workable algorithms that constitutes fuzzy models [6]. Fuzzy logic is an alternative to probability theory in which outcome represents the

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 07 Issue: 03 | Mar 2020 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2020, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.34 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 4667 degree to which it leads to true or false. Fuzzy logic will be beneficial to work on incomplete, vagueness and uncertain problems. It totally depends upon membership functions based upon optimum results for given application. The conventional approach based on crisp sets to evaluate the results but with fuzzy logic we step forward to implement with fuzzy sets for approximate reasoning. So, it behaves as mimic nature as of human thinking to deal with specific problem. Fuzzy logic totally based on fuzzy if-then rules to produce an output for an application. Fuzzy rule based inference approach combines all three basic representation as matching, inference and combination to meet the final response. There are two ways to demonstrate fuzzy rules based on fuzzy mapping and fuzzy implication. The role of fuzzy mapping lies when we don’t know all the values of the parameters in specific application whereas fuzzy implication focused on approximate reasoning with different statements. The purpose of fuzzification is to convert crisp sets to fuzzy sets. Therefore fuzzy logic can generate an intelligent machine which resembles the working as of human brain. To tackle the emergent need to society in medical field, the contribution of fuzzy logic is growing rapidly in every sector of medicine [7]. Following this, the study intends to apply fuzzy logic modelling to the development of a predictive model which can be used to assess the risk of STDs among young females. 2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW [8] developed an expert system to diagnose asthma by assigning parameters with fuzzy logic. The whole representation was performed in Iran and concluded with 100% specificity and 94% sensitivity. In the same vein, [9] developed an expert system for adult asthma diagnosis using Neuro-Fuzzy fitting tool with SOM, LVQ and BPNN algorithms. The back-propagation considered to be the best among all at epoch 9 by providing 535 samples. Another classification was done by [10] for asthma and chronic disease with MATLAB tool profiler with different classification algorithms as NN and LM which provides 99.41% correctly classified results with specificity 100% and sensitivity 99.28%. [11] worked on diagnosing of liver disease on the basis of expert system collaborated with fuzzy logic. According to them, the representation was given with Mamdani approach by using 3 inputs and 1 output variables to identify the risk factors. [12] proposed a model to diagnose diabetes disease based on PCA and ANFIS methodology with 8 input features implemented in MATLAB. The expert system showed 89.47% accurate with 85% sensitivity, 92% specificity and 0.262 root mean square error. [13] proposed a model of combining three different diseases covered in one fuzzy expert approach. He worked on dental, heart and anemia problem with 11 input parameters for diagnosing multiple diseases. The system proved 94.627% accuracy. [14] applied deep learning for the processing of images of cassava plant for the detection of plant diseases. The study collected a dataset of cassava diseases images taken at a field in Tanzania. The images were analyzed using a transfer leaning to train a deep convolutional neural network to identify 3 diseases and 2 types of pest damages. The best model achieved an overall accuracy of 93% for data not used in the training process. The results also showed that the transfer learning approach for image recognition of field images offers a fast, affordable, and easily deployable strategy for digital plant disease detection. Also, Dynamic neural network (DNN) was used to detect time-varying occurrences of tremor and dyskinesia from time series data acquired from EMG sensors and triaxial accelerometers worn by Parkinson patient [15]. Other predictive fuzzy logic models combine different Artifical Intelligence AI and Machine Learning ML approaches for reproducing intelligent human reasoning process [16]. By using information fusion, hybrid models combine heterogeneous ML approaches and improve quality of reasoning for complex regression and classification problems [17]. Neurofuzzy systems combine neural network and fuzzy logic paradigms to avoid the limitations of neural network explanations to reach decision and limitations of fuzzy logic to automatically acquire the rules used for making decisions [18]. 3.0 METHODOLOGY To actualise this work, the research was divided into three; identification of ten (10) different risk factors associated with the risk of STDs among young female human, membership functions was used for the formulation of the fuzzy logic model for each risk factor identified alongside the output target risk of STDs and the resulting fuzzy logic model is simulated using MATLAB R2015a software. 3.1 Identification of Risk Factors for STDs Crisp values were given to each risk factor assessed as a way of quantifying the response to each risk factor by a user. Therefore, higher values were given to intervals that increased the risk while lower values were given to intervals that reduced the risk of STDs. Hence, each crisp interval were assigned a linguistic value that was used as a nominal tag for which each fuzzy membership function was required to be formulated based on the values of the crisp interval. The ten risk factors identified are: marital status, socio- economic status, toilet facility use, age at first sexual intercourse, practice sex protection, sexual activities (in last two weeks), life time number of partners, practice casual sex, history of STDs and risk of STDs. All these risk factors are allocated crisp values and linguistic variables as shown in Table 1.

The interval of this parameter was used to define the crisp interval within which each crisp value required for calling the linguistic variable was assigned. Therefore, 2 or 3 triangular membership functions were formulated for each risk factor that was identified in this study based on the mathematical expression in equation (1). Using 2 or 3 triangular membership functions, the ( ) { ( ) Where x is a numeric value to be fitted into a crisp interval of (a, b, c) to get the variable label. Labels of the identified risk factors were formulated using the crisp intervals of (-0.5, 0.5), (0.5, 1.5) and (1.5, 2.5) to model the linguistic variables for 0, 1 and 2 respectively such that the values 0, 1 and 2 became the center b of each interval as shown in Table 2.

Therefore, four (4) triangular membership functions were used to formulate the fuzzy logic model required to describe the 4 labels of the target class that was used to describe the risk of STDs using the identified crisp as shown in Table 3. In order to construct the knowledge base of the classification model using fuzzy logic, a number of IF- THEN rules were used by combining the risk factors as the precedence while the risk of STDs was used as the consequent variable. The following rule was inferred for this work; IF(Present Age = “Above 30 years”) AND (Marital Status = “Married”) AND (Socio-economic Status = “High Class”) AND (Toilet facility Used = “Personal”) AND (Age at first sexual intercourse = “Never”) AND (Practice sex protection = “Yes”) AND (Sexual Activity in last 2 weeks = “Inactive”) AND (Lifetime number of partners = “None or One”) THEN (Risk of STDs = “No Risk”).

The study identified 9 non-invasive risk factors required for the classification of the risk of STDs among female patients. Each risk factor was defined using a number of linguistic variables for which central crisp values were assigned based on the association with the risk of STDs. The higher the association of the linguistic variable then the higher the central crisp values assigned. The crisp values for each of the identified risk factor was done by allocating the values 0, 1, 2 and 3 to some risk factors with 4 values; values of 0, 1 and to some risk factors with 3 values; or the values 0 and 1 to binary risk factors in increasing order of association with the risk of STDs. Each risk factor was discretized into 2, 3

Therefore, crisp intervals with centers of 0, 1, 2 and 3 were used to define the labels of the identified risk factor using triangular membership functions to identify labels in intervals [-0.5 0.5], [0.5 1.5], [1.5 2.5] and [2.5 3 3.5] respectively. For the purpose of establishing a relationship between the identified non-invasive risk factors identified, 2304 rules were inferred from the experts in order to determine the relationship between the risk factors identified and the risk of STDs. In order to construct the knowledge base of the classification model using fuzzy logic, a number of IF-THEN rules were used by combining the risk factors as the precedence while the risk of STDs was used as the consequent variable. Using the risk factors that were identified for assessing the risk of STDs, the process of inference rule generation was achieved. 5.0 CONCLUSION This study developed a fuzzy logic-based model for the classification of the risk of STDs in order to mitigate the effect of STDs on the productivity of female in Nigeria using non-invasive techniques. This study concluded that using information about the risk factors that are associated with the risk of STDs, fuzzy logic modeling was adopted for predicting the risk of STD based on knowledge about the risk factors. The study also concluded that the 9 related factors identified were marital status, socio-economic status, toilet facility used, age at first sexual intercourse, practice sex protection, sexual activity (in last 2 weeks), lifetime partners, practice casual sex and history of STDs. 2, 3 and 4 triangular membership functions were appropriate for the formulation of the linguistic variables of the factorswhile the target risk was formulated using four triangular membership functions for th linguistic variables no risk, low risk, moderate risk and high risk. The 2304 inferred rules were formulated using IF-THEN statements which adopted the values of the factors as antecedent and the risk of STDs as consequent part of each rule. The developed fuzzy logic model was simulated to demonstrate its capabilities in predicting the risk of STDs in order to mitigate the effect of STDs on the productivity of female. The study also, recommends that additional efforts be put place into the identification of additional non-invasive risk factors required for the early detection of STDs among females. Also, data about risk factors associated with STDs should be collected so that data mining and machine learning algorithms can be adopted for the development of objective predictive models which do not depend on expert rules elicited from experts which may be limited by bias REFERENCES [1] WHO (2018): “Report on Global Sexually Transmitted Infection Surveillance”, World Health Organisation, Genera: 2018, Licence: CCBY-NC.SA.3.01GO.
