Abstract

In practice, we may obtain data which is set-valued due to the limitation of acquisition means or the requirement of practical problems. In this paper, we focus on how to reduce set-valued decision information systems under the disjunctive semantics. First, a new relation to measure the degree of similarity between two set-valued objects is defined, which overcomes the limitations of the existing measure methods. Second, an attribute reduction algorithm for set-valued decision information systems is proposed. At last, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can simplify set-valued decision information systems and achieve higher classification accuracy than existing methods.
