An Optimizing Selection in a Family of Attribute Reducts
Attribute reduction is one of important applications in rough set theory.There are more than one attribute reduct in a data set
and heuristic algorithms are always used to find one of them
which is verified with experiments.For many attribute reducts
it is hard for people to distinguish them
and lacks of valid methods of selecting the best one or a better one.Indexes of concept drift and information loss are employed to compare the same type of Pawlak attribute reducts in a knowledge system.The focus of attribute reducts is presented
and its properties are investigated in this paper.Experimental results show that the closest attribute reduct to the focus of attribute reducts is better than other attribute reducts in classification accuracy.Indexes of concept drift detection and information loss can distinguish different attribute reducts
and the focus of attribute reducts can be employed to select the best attribute reduct or a better one.
