Abstract

So far in previous chapters, we have discussed details of various feature selection algorithms, both rough set based and non-rough set based, for supervised learning and unsupervised learning. In this chapter we will provide analysis of different RST-based feature selection algorithms. With explicit discussion on their results, different experiments were performed to compare the performance of algorithms. We will focus on RST-based feature selection algorithms.
