Abstract

For SVM classifier, Pre-selecting data is necessary to achieve satisfactory classification rate and reduction of complexity. According to Rough Set Theory, the examples in boundary region of a set belong to two or more classes, lying in the boundary of the classes, and according to SVM, support vectors lie in the boundary too. So we use Rough Set Theory to select the examples of boundary region of a set as the SVM classifier set, the complexity of SVM classifier would be reduced and the accuracy maintained. Experiment results of SARS data indicate that our schema is available in both the training and prediction stages.
