Big data analytics is important for identifying and analyzing different patterns, relations, and trends within a large volume of data such as crime prediction. In this paper, we propose a new model for predicting crimes using neural‐fuzzy model. For this purpose, time of occurrence and longitude and latitude of the crime scene are used. We use k‐means algorithms to cluster crime records based on their locations. The crime pattern of each cluster was learnt by its own neural‐fuzzy network, in addition using shuffled frog leaping algorithm to determine the optimal cluster radius. The accuracy and Mean Absolute Error and Root Mean Squared Error of this method were compared with: Gaussian Process Regression, Classification and Regression Tree, and Artificial Neural Network. The experiment results showed that the proposed model was the most accurate model and had the least error to predict the occurrence of crimes so can be used as an effective tool in real‐world applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
