Many heuristic attribute reduction algorithms have been proposed to find a single reduct that functions as the entire set of original attributes without loss of classification capability; however, the proposed reducts are not always perfect for these multiclass datasets. In this study, based on a probabilistic rough set model, we propose the class-oriented attribute reduction (COAR) algorithm, which separately finds a reduct for each target class. Thus, there is a strong dependence between a reduct and its target class. Consequently, we propose a type of ensemble constructed on a group of classifiers based on class-oriented reducts with a customized weighted majority voting strategy. We evaluated the performance of our proposed algorithm based on five real multiclass datasets. Experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed method in terms of four general evaluation metrics.

In Rough set, attribute missing values have several problems such as reduct and core estimation. Further, they do not give some discernable pattern for decision tree construction. Now, there are several methods such as substitutions of typical attribute values, assignment of every possible value, event covering, C4.5 and special LEMS algorithm. However, they are mainly substitutions into frequently appearing values or common attribute ones. Thus, decision rules with high information loss are derived in case that important attribute values are missing in pattern matching. In particular, there is difficult to implement cross validation of the decision rules. In this paper we suggest new method for substituting the missing attribute values into high information gain by using entropy variation among given attributes, and thereby completing the information table. The suggested method is validated by conducting the same rough set analysis on the incomplete information system using the software ROSE.

This paper surveys the design of the adaptive information filtering agents to retrieve the useful information within a large scale database. As the information retrieval through the Internet is generalized, it is necessary to extract the useful information satisfied the user's request condition to reduce the seeking time. For the first, this module is designed by the Rough reduct to generate the reduced minimal knowledge database considered the users natural query language in a large scale knowledge database, and also it is executed the soft computing by the fuzzy composite processing to operate the uncertain value of the reduced schema domain.

Rough set theory comes to derive optimal rules through the effective selection of features from the redundancy of lots of information in data mining using the concept of equivalence relation and approximation space in rough set. The reduction of attributes is one of the most important parts in its applications of rough set. This paper purports to define a information-theoretic measure for determining the most important attribute within the association of attributes using rough entropy. The proposed method generates the effective reduct set and formulates the core of the attribute set through the elimination of the redundant attributes. Subsequently, the control rules are generated with a subset of feature which retain the accuracy of the original features through the reduction.

An efficient retrieval of useful information is a prerequisite of an optimal decision making system. Hence, A research of data mining techniques finding useful patterns from the various forms of data has been progressed with the increase of the application of Big Data for convergence and integration with other industries. Each technique is more likely to have its drawback so that the generalization of retrieving useful information is weak. Another integrated technique is essential for retrieving useful information. In this paper, a uncertainty measure of information is calculated such that algebraic probability is measured by Bayesian theory and then information entropy of the probability is measured. The proposed measure generates the effective reduct set (i.e., reduced set of necessary attributes) and formulating the core of the attribute set. Hence, the optimal decision rules are induced. Through simulation deciding contact lenses, the proposed approach is compared with the equivalence and value-reduct theories. As the result, the proposed is more general than the previous theories in useful decision-making.

This paper proposes the two algorithms which generate a minimal decision rule and approximate inference operation, adapted the rough set and the factor space theory in fuzzy knowledge base. The generation of the minimal decision rule is executed by the data classification technique and reduct applying the correlation analysis and the Bayesian theorem related attribute factors. To retrieve the specific object, this paper proposes the approximate inference method defining the membership function and the combination operation of t-norm in the minimal knowledge base composed of decision rule. We compare the suggested algorithms with the other retrieval theories such as possibility theory, factor space theory, Max-Min, Max-product and Max-average composition operations through the simulation generating the object numbers and the attribute values randomly as the memory size grows. With the result of the comparison, we prove that the suggested algorithm technique is faster than the previous ones to retrieve the object in access time.

These days data is being collected and accumulated in a wide variety of fields. Stored data itself is to be an information system which helps us to make decisions. An information system includes many kinds of necessary and unnecessary attribute. So many algorithms have been developed for finding useful patterns from the data and reasoning approximately new objects. We are interested in the simple and understandable rules that can represent useful patterns. In this paper we propose an algorithm which can reduce the information in the system to a minimum, based on a probabilistic rough set theory. The proposed algorithm uses a value that tolerates accuracy of classification. The tolerant value helps minimizing the necessary attribute which is needed to reason a new object by reducing conditional attributes. It has the advantage that it reduces the time of generalizing rules. We experiment a proposed algorithm with the IRIS data and Wisconsin Breast Cancer data. The experiment results show that this algorithm retrieves a small reduct, and minimizes the size of the rule under the tolerant classification rate.
