Abstract

Rough set is useful for classification in learning model. The main advantage of rough set is to find out the relativity among attributes directly from attributes of data without any preliminary or additional information. A rough set classifier based on discretization and attribute selection is proposed in this paper. Our rough set classifying algorithm give a full consider about condition attribute significance during the process of rule forming. We verified our algorithm on five well-known UCI machine learning data sets. The experiment results are expressed by mean of accuracies. At last, we compare our experiment results with the classical algorithms of other two references [8] and [9]. Results prove proposed algorithm is better than them. It can get higher classification accuracy, lower breakpoints and rules in all data sets of our experiments.
