Indicator Selection based on Rough Set Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for indicator selection is proposed in this paper. The method, which adopts the General Methodology and Design Research approach, consists of four steps: Problem Identification, Requirement Gathering, Indicator Extraction, and Evaluation. Rough Set approach also has been applied in the Indicator Extraction phase. This phase consists of 5 steps: Data selection, Data Preprocessing, Discretization, Split Data, Reduction, and Classification. . A dataset of 427 records have been used for experimentation. The datasets which contains financial information from several companies consists of 30 dependant indicators and one independent indicator. The selection of indicators is based on rough set theory where sets of reducts are computed from a dataset. Based on the sets of reducts, indicators have been ranked and selected based on certain set of criteria. Indicators have been ranked through computation of frequencies in reduct sets. The major contribution of this work is the extraction method for identifying reduced indicators. Results obtained have shown competitive accuracies in classifying new cases, thus showing that the quality of knowledge is maintained through the use of a reduced set of indicators.

High dimensional microarray datasets are difficult to classify since they have many features with small number ofinstances and imbalanced distribution of classes. This paper proposes a filter-based feature selection method to improvethe classification performance of microarray datasets by selecting the significant features. Combining the concepts ofrough sets, weighted rough set, fuzzy rough se...

متن کاملTopological structure on generalized approximation space related to n-arry relation
Classical structure of rough set theory was first formulated by Z. Pawlak in [6]. The foundation of its object classification is an equivalence binary relation and equivalence classes. The upper and lower approximation operations are two core notions in rough set theory. They can also be seenas a closure operator and an interior operator of the topology induced by an equivalence relation on a u...

With the advancement of metagenome data mining science has become focused on microarrays. Microarrays are datasets with a large number of genes that are usually irrelevant to the output class; hence, the process of gene selection or feature selection is essential. So, it follows that you can remove redundant genes and increase the speed and accuracy of classification. After applying the gene se...
