On Partial Covers, Reducts and Decision Rules

  • Chapter
Transactions on Rough Sets VIII

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((TRS,volume 5084))

Abstract

In the paper, the accuracy of greedy algorithms for construction of partial covers, reducts and decision rules is considered. Bounds on the minimal complexity of partial covers, reducts and decision rules based on an information about greedy algorithm work are studied. The results of experiments with greedy algorithms are described.
