Abstract

A granular computing model is used for learning classification rules by considering the two basic issues: concept formation and concept relationships identification. A classification rule induction method is proposed. Instead of focusing on the selection of a suitable partition, i.e., a family of granules defined by values of an attribute, in each step, we concentrate on the selection of a single granule. This leads to finding a covering of the universe, which is more general than partition based methods. For the design of granule selection heuristics, several measures on granules are suggested.
