Abstract

We consider learning abilities of classifiers learned from data structured by rough set approaches into lower approximations of considered sets of objects. We introduce two measures, λ and δ, that estimate attainable predictive accuracy of rough-set-based classifiers. To check the usefulness of the estimates for various types of classifiers, we perform a computational experiment on fourteen data sets. In the experiment, we use two versions of the rough-set-based rule classifier, called VC-DomLEM, and few other well known classifiers. The results show that both introduced measures are useful for an a priori identification of data sets that are hard to learn by all classifiers.
