Abstract:A new attribute reduction algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the rough equivalence class(REC) is proposed based on the smallest computational granularity of global equivalences, and the character of REC is analyzed, under which core and reduction computation are proved to be the same with those in the original decision system. Then the relationship between positive region and the 3 types of RECs are studied, and an incremental equal method of positive region based on bilateral deleting of 1-REC and ??1-REC is designed. Two directional pruning strategies and the incremental attribute partitioning algorithm with multiple Hashing are designed, based on which the efficient and complete attribution reduction algorithm is proposed. Finally, 20 decision sets of UCI, massive and ultra-high dimension data sets are used to verify the algorithms, and the results show that the attribution reduction algorithm proposed is efficient and superior to current algorithms in most conditions, and is fit for massive and ultra-high dimensional decision tables especially.
