区间值数据用来表示包含观察值的不确定性。区间值信息系统的处理有助于拓展粗糙集理论的应用范畴。属性约简是区间值数据分析的一个关键问题。现有针对传统单值数据的方法不适用于区间值数据。目前,关注区间值数据约简的研究还相对较少。本文从信息论的角度提出了一个区间值数据的属性约简框架,定义了区间值信息系统中的熵、条件熵以及联合熵等概念,继而构造了属性约简算法。实验结果表明所构造的方法是有效的。
Interval-valued data appear as a way to represent the uncertainty affecting the observed values. Dealing with interval-valued information systems is helpful to generalize the applications of rough set theory. Attribute reduction is a key issue in analysis of interval-valued data. Existing attribute reduction methods for single-valued data are unsuitable for interval-valued data. So far
there have been few studies on attribute reduction methods for interval-valued data. In this paper
we propose a framework for attribute reduction in interval-valued data from the viewpoint of information theory. Some information theory concepts
including entropy
conditional entropy
and joint entropy
are given in interval-valued information systems. Based on these concepts
we provide an information theory view for attribute reduction in interval-valued information systems. Consequently
attribute reduction algorithms are proposed. Experiments show that the proposed framework is effective for attribute reduction in interval-valued information systems.
