Decision Rule-Based Data Models Using TRS and NetTRS – Methods and Algorithms

  • Chapter
Transactions on Rough Sets XI

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TRS,volume 5946))

Abstract

The internet service NetTRS (Network TRS) that enable to realize induction, evaluation, and postprocessing of decision rules is presented in the paper. The TRS (Tolerance Rough Sets) library is the main part of the service. The TRS library makes possible to induct, generalize and filtrate decision rules. Moreover, TRS enables to evaluate rules and conduct the classification process. The NetTRS service is a package of the library in user interface and makes it accessible in the Internet. NetTRS put principal emphasis on induction and postprocessing of decision rules, the paper describes methods and algorithms that are available in the service.
