We say that G<inf>1</inf> improves G<inf>0</inf> if the performance of G<inf>1</inf> is more than G<inf>0</inf> one. We also introduced the concepts of consistent and strongly selfguessing fuzzy classifiers. The criterion of strong selfguessing is formulated. The theorems on the conditions of probabilistic improvement of consistent and monotonic improvement of strongly selfguessing fuzzy classifiers are proved.</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>machine learning algorithm</kwd><kwd>fuzzy classifier</kwd><kwd>probabilistic and monotonic improvement of fuzzy classifiers</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
