Statistical Model for Rough Set Approach to Multicriteria Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to discover interesting patterns and dependencies in data, an approach based on rough set theory can be used. In particular, Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) has been introduced to deal with the problem of multicriteria classification. However, in real-life problems, in the presence of noise, the notions of rough approximations were found to be excessively restrictive, which led to the proposal of the Variable Consistency variant of DRSA. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to variable consistency that is based on maximum likelihood estimation. For two-class (binary) problems, it leads to the isotonic regression problem. The approach is easily generalized for the multi-class case. Finally, we show the equivalence of the variable consistency rough sets to the specific risk-minimizing decision rule in statistical decision theory.

Stochastic dominance-based rough set model for ordinal classification
In order to discover interesting patterns and dependencies in data, an approach based on rough set theory can be used. In particular, Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) has been introduced to deal with the problem of ordinal classification with monotonicity constraints (also referred to as multicriteria classification in decision analysis). However, in real-life problems, in the presence...
متن کاملLearning Rule Ensembles for Ordinal Classification with Monotonicity Constraints
Ordinal classification problems with monotonicity constraints (also referred to as multicriteria classification problems) often appear in real-life applications, however, they are considered relatively less frequently in theoretical studies than regular classification problems. We introduce a rule induction algorithm based on the statistical learning approach that is tailored for this type of p...
متن کاملIncremental Rule Induction for Multicriteria and Multiattribute Classification
Incremental induction of decision rules within the dominance-based rough set approach to the multicriteria and multiattribute classification is discussed. We introduce an algorithm, called Glance, that incrementally induces a set of all rules from examples. We experimentally evaluate it and compare with two other algorithms, previously proposed for this kind of classification problem.
متن کاملA Methodology to Support Group Multicriteria Classification
The paper proposes a two-phase methodology to support groups in multicriteria classification problems. The first phase, which relies on dominance-based rough set approach, takes as input a set of assignment examples, and generates as output a set of collective decision rules representing a generalized description of the preference information of the decision makers. The second phase then applie...
متن کاملA hybrid filter-based feature selection method via hesitant fuzzy and rough sets concepts
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...
