Abstract

Reduct finding, especially optimal reduct finding, similar to feature selection problem, is a crucial task in rough set applications to data mining, In this paper, we propose a heuristic reduct finding algorithm, which is based on frequencies of attributes appeared in discernibility matrix. Our method does not guarantee to find optimal reduct, but experiment shows that in most situations it does; and it is very fast.
