Abstract

Nonparametric methods in statistics is introduced to analyze decision tables First, the raw decision table is translated to a series of corresponding contingency tables between each condition attribute and the decision attribute, and then, dependence significance testing is finished to make sure if a condition attribute is correlated with the decision Finally, we get the reduct of decision table at a special significance level, as well as all the first-order rules Our experiments show that the nonparametric statistical method we proposed is feasible and efficiently.
