Abstract: Soft computing models play an important role in the field of recognition, classification, data prediction, etc., and also in various application fields towards decision-making. Soft computing models include fuzzy logic, neural, network, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimisation, tabu search, harmonie search, clustering, etc. The performance of a particular soft computing model can be ascertained using a particular dataset for the purpose of decision-making. Here, an effort has been made to make a comparison on the performance of fuzzy logic, Bayesian logic and neural network. The model with minimum error has been given preference for selection towards decision-making of information. The same method has been cross-checked based on the residual analysis to verify the earlier proposed observation. The said models have also been cross-checked based on other dataset. Under neural network, perceptron neural network model has been used.

Keywords: fuzzy logic; membership functions; bell shaped function; Bayesian logic; perceptron neural networks; soft computing; decision making.
