Title
Probabilistic Rough Induction: The GDT-RS Methodology and Algorithms
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic rough induction methodology and discuss two algorithms for its implementation. This methodology is based on the combination of Generalization Distribution Table (GDT) and the Rough Set theory (GDT-RS for short). A GDT is a table in which the probabilistic relationships between concepts and instances over discrete domains are represented. The GDT provides a probabilistic basis for evaluating the strength of a rule. The rough set theory is used to find minimal relative reducts from the set of rules with larger strength. Main features of the GDT-RS are (1) biases can be selected flexibly for search control, and background knowledge can be used as a bias to control the creation of a GDT and the rule induction process; (2) the uncertainty of a rule including the prediction of possible instances can be represented explicitly in the strength of the rule.
