摘要
属性约简是机器学习和数据挖掘中常用的技术手段之一。传统粒球邻域粗糙集对噪声数据敏感及未能区分样本在粒球中代表性差异的问题,容易导致噪声样本对粒球整体表征的干扰。针对该问题,首先通过引入样本与粒球中心的距离加权方法定义加权函数,并以此作为权重衡量样本与粒球之间的相似性,定义粒球模糊邻域。然后,结合粒球模糊邻域定义包含度函数,构建更有效的模糊近似算子。提出了一种改进模糊邻域的可变精度粒球粗糙集模型,以此提升模型对噪声数据的鲁棒性和分类性能。在11个UCI(University of California, Irvine)基准数据集上进行测试,结果表明,该模型能够有效约简属性并保持较高的分类准确率。最后,将本文提出的算法应用于水质评价分类实际问题,剔除冗余特征,筛选出核心指标,提高了分类精度的准确率。
Abstract
Attribute reduction is a commonly used technique in machine learning and data mining. The traditional granular neighborhood rough set is sensitive to noise data and fails to distinguish the representativeness differences of samples within granules, which easily leads to the interference of noise samples on the overall representation of granules. To address this limitation, a kind of distance weighting method between samples and granular-ball centers is proposed to define a weighting function. This weighting function is set as a weight to measure the similarity between samples and granular balls, thereby defining a granular-ball fuzzy neighborhood. Subsequently, a membership function is defined based on the granular-ball fuzzy neighborhood to construct more effective fuzzy approximation operators. A variable-precision granular-ball rough set with improved fuzzy neighborhood is proposed, which enhances the robustness of the model to noisy data and its classification performance. Experimental tests conducted on 11 UCI (University of California, Irvine)benchmark datasets show that the proposed model can effectively reduce attributes while maintaining high classification accuracy. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the practical problem of water quality evaluation and classification. By removing redundant features and selecting core indicators, the accuracy of classification is effectively improved.

因此,现提出一种改进模糊邻域的可变精度粒球粗糙集(variable-precision granular-ball rough set with improved fuzzy neighborhood,IFN-VPGBRS),具体改进策略是引入样本与粒球中心距离的加权方法,细化样本与粒球之间的相似性度量,使靠近球心的样本具有更高代表性权重。同时,结合模糊邻域粗糙集进行属性约简,可以有效地提高属性约简精度。首先,针对在同一个粒球中的粒球模糊邻域关系,采用样本与粒球中心的距离进行加权:离球心越近的样本,更能代表粒球特性,而且相似度权重越高,样本离球心越远,权重越低,可能接近粒球边界,可靠性较低,这更符合粒球的“中心-半径” 的结构特点;其次,通过定义的粒球模糊邻域关系,定义包含度函数。该包含度可以量化模糊粗糙集模型中的不确定性,使得模型具有一定的容忍能力;然后,结合改进模糊邻域的可变精度粗糙集,推导出一种改进模糊邻域的可变精度粒球粗糙集模型,设计基于该模型的后向选择的启发式搜索策略算法,以期为水质评价分类问题提供参考。
