Title
Rule-based estimation of attribute relevance
Abstract
We consider estimation of relevance of attributes used for classification. This estimation takes into account the predictive capabilities of the attributes. To this end, we are using Bayesian confirmation measure. The estimation is based on analysis of rule classifiers in classification tests. The attribute relevance measure increases when more rules involving this attribute suggest a correct decision, or when more rules that do not invole this attribute suggest an incorrect decision in the classification test; otherwise, the attribute relevance measure is decreasing. This requirement is satisfied by a monotonic Bayesian confirmation measure. Usefulness of the presented measure is verified experimentally.
