- Abstract:
-
In data processing, attribute reduction is an important application of rough set theory. The existing methods for continuous data mainly concentrate on the greedy algorithms based on the positive region. These methods take account of only the identifiability between consistent samples and other samples while ignoring distinguishability among the boundary samples. To overcome the disadvantage based on the positive domain algorithm, this paper proposed a new method for attribute reduction using a discernibility matrix. The model considers not only the consistency of samples in the positive region but also the reparability of boundary samples. On this basis, this paper analyzes the structure of attribute reduction and defines a discernibility matrix to characterize the discernibility ability of a subset of attributes. Next, an attribute reduction algorithm was designed based on the discernibility matrix. The validity of the proposed algorithm was verified using UCI standard data sets and theoretical analysis.
