چکیده

In fuzzy classi"er systems the classi"cation is obtained by a number of fuzzy If}Then rules including linguistic terms such as Low and High that fuzzify each feature. This paper presents a method by which a reduced linguistic (fuzzy) set of a labeled multi-dimensional data set can be identi"ed automatically. After the projection of the original data set onto a fuzzy space, the optimal subset of fuzzy features is determined using conventional search techniques. The applicability of this method has been demonstrated by reducing the number of features used for the classi"cation of four real-world data sets. This method can also be used to generate an initial rule set for a fuzzy neural network. ( 1999 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fuzzy-rough Information Gain Ratio Approach to Filter-wrapper Feature Selection

Feature selection for various applications has been carried out for many years in many different research areas. However, there is a trade-off between finding feature subsets with minimum length and increasing the classification accuracy. In this paper, a filter-wrapper feature selection approach based on fuzzy-rough gain ratio is proposed to tackle this problem. As a search strategy, a modifie...

A 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...

Neuro-Fuzzy Based Algorithm for Online Dynamic Voltage Stability Status Prediction Using Wide-Area Phasor Measurements

In this paper, a novel neuro-fuzzy based method combined with a feature selection technique is proposed for online dynamic voltage stability status prediction of power system. This technique uses synchronized phasors measured by phasor measurement units (PMUs) in a wide-area measurement system. In order to minimize the number of neuro-fuzzy inputs, training time and complication of neuro-fuzzy ...

Effective Feature Selection for Pre-Cancerous Cervix Lesions Using Artificial Neural Networks

Since most common form of cervical cancer starts with pre-cancerous changes, a flawless detection of these changes becomes an important issue to prevent and treat the cervix cancer. There are 2 ways to stop this disease from developing. One way is to find and treat pre-cancers before they become true cancers, and the other is to prevent the pre-cancers in the first place. The presented approach...
