Abstract

The volume of data being generated nowadays is increasing at phenomenal rate. Extracting useful knowledge from such data collections is an important and challenging issue. A promising technique is the Rough set theory, a new mathematical approach to data analysis based on classification of objects of interest into similarity classes, which are indiscernible with respect to some features. This theory offers two fundamental concepts: reduct and core. In this paper, Quick Reduct and the proposed Improved Quick Reduct Algorithms are first presented, followed by the  c4.5  approach for rule induction. Some experiment results are also given. The redundant attributes are  eliminated in order to generate the effective reduct set (i.e., reduced set of necessary attributes) or to construct the core of the attribute set.  This paper analyses the efficiency of the proposed Improved Quickreduct Algorithm against the standard Quick Reduct Algorithm. The experimental works are carried out on medical data sets of UCI machine learning repository and the Human Immuno deficiency Virus(HIV) data set.

Key words: Rough set theory, Data mining, Knowledge discovery, Feature selection, Quickreduct, Improved Quickreduct.
