Partial Covers, Reducts and Decision Rules in Rough Sets – hinnat ja saatavuus

This monograph is devoted to theoretical and experimental study of partial reductsandpartialdecisionrulesonthebasisofthestudyofpartialcovers. The use of partial (approximate) reducts and decision rules instead of exact ones allowsustoobtainmorecompactdescriptionofknowledgecontainedindecision tables,andtodesignmorepreciseclassi?ers. Weconsideralgorithmsforconstructionofpartialreductsandpartialdecision rules,boundsonminimalcomplexityofpartialreductsanddecisionrules,and algorithms for construction of the set of all partial reducts and the set of all irreducible partial decision rules. We discuss results of numerous experiments with randomly generated and real-life decision tables. These results show that partial reducts and decision rules can be used in data mining and knowledge discoverybothforknowledgerepresentationandforprediction. Theresultsobtainedinthe monographcanbe usefulforresearchersinsuch areasasmachinelearning,dataminingandknowledgediscovery,especiallyfor thosewhoareworkinginroughsettheory,testtheoryandLAD(LogicalAnalysis ofData). The monographcan be usedunder the creationofcoursesforgraduates- dentsandforPh. D. studies. An essential part of software used in experiments will be accessible soon in RSES-RoughSetExplorationSystem(InstituteofMathematics,WarsawU- versity,headofproject-ProfessorAndrzejSkowron). We are greatly indebted to Professor Andrzej Skowron for stimulated d- cussionsand varioussupportof ourwork. We aregratefulto ProfessorJanusz Kacprzykforhelpfulsuggestions.
