This paper puts forward an attribute reduction algorithm based on maximum discernibility degree, which opens up an effective way of gaining minimum attribute reduction of decision table. The efficacy of this algorithm has been verified by practical application in a diagnostic system of loader, which substantially decreases information gathering requirement and lowers the overall cost with no loss of accuracy.展开更多

In this paper, the relationship between attribute discernible matrix and its discernibility is first established for general information systems. Based on the idea that the equivalent discernible matrix has a same attribute reduction, existing matrices are modified and a formula of attribute discernibility associated with algebraic reduction for decision table is proposed. A heuristic attribute reduction algorithm based on attribute discernibility is presented. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm can more easily explore an optimal or sub-optimal reduction, and is efficient.展开更多

Attributes reduction based on discernibility matrix and discernibility function in rough sets can use in data classification, so we put forward a method for data classification. Namely, firstly, we use discernibility matrix and discernibility function to delete superfluous attributes in formation system and get a necessary attribute set. Secondly, we delete superfluous attribute values and get decision rules. Finally, we classify data by means of decision rules. The experiments show that data classification using this method is simpler in the structure, and can improve the efficiency of classification.展开更多

Binary discernibility matrix, as a representative approach, has many interesting superior properties and has been rapidly developed to find intuitive and easy to understand knowledge. However, at present, the binary discernibility matrix is mainly adopted in the complete information system. It is a challenging topic how to achieve the attribute reduction by using binary discernibility matrix in incomplete information system. A form of generalized binary discernibility matrix is further developed for a number of representative extended rough set models that deal with incomplete information systems. Some useful properties and criteria are introduced for judging the attribute core and attribute relative reduction. Thereafter, a new algorithm is formulated which supports attribute core and attribute relative reduction based on the generalized binary discernibility matrix. This algorithm is not only suitable for consistent information systems but also inconsistent information systems.
