Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated intelligent system that builds a fault diagnosis inference model based on the advantage of rough set theory and genetic algorithms (GAs). Rough set theory is a novel data mining approach that deals with vagueness and can be used to find hidden patterns in data sets. Based on this approach, minimal condition variable subsets and induction rules are established and illustrated using an application for motherboard electromagnetic interference (EMI) test fault diagnosis. This integrated system successfully integrated the rough set theory for handling uncertainty with a robust search engine, GA. The result shows that the proposed method can reduce the number of conditional attributes used in motherboard EMI fault diagnosis and maintain acceptable classification accuracy. The average diagnostic accuracy of 80% shows that this hybrid model is a promising approach to EMI diagnostic support systems .
