Abstract:

By means of the methodology of rough set,different attribute classification methods for decision systems are first analyzed in this paper,and the attribute significance as well as the extremely small subset of the attribute relative reduction caused by a classification variety is discussed.Next, the intrinsic factor to affect the interaction between the attribute classification method and the attribute reduction results is revealed. Then.a scheme for performing effective attribute classification and a strategy for determining reasonable attribute reduction subsets are in-troduced,and an algorithm is presented to implement the corresponding software according to the strategy . By using the presented algorithm,a relative reduction subset is finally selected. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and algorithm.

Key words: attribute-value partition, relative reduction, extremely small subset, attribute significance, core attribute
