A Data Preprocessing Algorithm for Classification Model Based On Rough Sets
Xiangwei Li, Qi Yian-fang · Physics Procedia · 2012
Aimed to solve the limitation of abundant data to constructing classification modeling in data mining, the paper proposed a novel effective preprocessing algorithm based on rough sets. Firstly, we construct the relation Information System using original data sets. Secondly, make use of attribute reduction theory of Rough sets to produce the Core of Information System. Core is the most important and necessary information which cannot reduce in original Information System. So it can get a same effect as original data sets to data analysis, and can construct classification modeling using it. Thirdly, construct indiscernibility matrix using reduced Information System, and finally, get the classification of original data sets. Compared to existing techniques, the developed algorithm enjoy following advantages: (1) avoiding the abundant data in follow-up data processing, and (2) avoiding large amount of computation in whole data mining process. (3) The results become more effective because of introducing the attributes reducing theory of Rough Sets.
