Attribute reduction learning based on double-quantitative similarity granulations and fusion measures in interval-set decision systems
摘要
Attribute reductions facilitate data learning, and they can function on interval-set decision systems (ISDSs). In ISDSs, similarity and dependency degrees are fundamental measures to respectively underlie knowledge granulations and attribute reductions; however, they adhere to only single quantifications on relativeness or absoluteness, so they exhibit measurement weakness and development space for attribute reductions. In this paper embracing ISDSs, underlying measures are improved by using double-quantitative fusions, so double-quantitative similarity granulations and fusion measures emerge to advance attribute reductions for classification learning. At first, the double-quantitative similarity of interval sets is proposed by balancing absolute and relative similarities, and its equivalence granulation matches but improves the current equivalence granulation from absolute similarity. Then, double-hierarchical and double-quantitative precision-dependencies are two-dimensionally constructed by using geometric and arithmetic mean fusions. Concretely, the relative precision and absolute dependency are directly fused by statistical averages, so the double-quantitative precision-dependency emerges at the classification level; the class-level precision and dependency are hierarchically determined, and they rely on statistical mean fusions and hierarchical summation integrations to yield the new double-quantitative precision-dependency at the classification level; thus, two-mean and two-level fusions formulate
