To reduce the sensitivity of the theory to noise and data distribution in practical applications, the study of robust FRS model still attracts great attention. This research is devoted to the robust fuzzy rough uncertainty measure theory for multi-density data. Firstly, soft-neighborhood theory is combined with classical FRSs to design a generalized FRS model which is simply named SNFRS. The new model can effectively reduce the influence of noise and multi-density distribution on uncertainty measure of data. Secondly, with the SNFRS model, soft fuzzy rough indiscernibility theory is proposed, and it is used to design feature selection algorithms. In this research, a fully supervised feature selection and a semi-supervised feature selection algorithms are respectively proposed based on the soft fuzzy rough indiscernibility theory. Besides, the labeling method of the semi-supervised feature selection is also based on the theory. Finally, some experiments are performed to verify the proposed models and algorithms. The results show that the feature selection algorithms based on the soft fuzzy rough indiscernibility are feasible and efficient. This indirectly indicates that the FRS model based on soft-neighborhood is effective, successful and generalized in measuring uncertainty of data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"513 ","pages":"Article 109397"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an essential dimensionality reduction technique, feature selection using discernibility matrices (DMs) has gained considerable attention. Relevant studies in MCTs have effectively addressed the construction of DMs, followed by the reduct computation via the discernibility function method. However, they remain restricted within crisp dominance rough sets (DRSs) and overlook other potential usages of DMs in feature selection. To address these issues, this paper constructs a DM based on a fuzzy DRS model and combines it with feature grouping to propose a composite feature selection algorithm for MCTs, termed DMCD. Firstly, fuzzy dominance-based neighborhood rough sets are established as the theoretical foundation, and a DM corresponding to fuzzy rank dependency is constructed. The discernibility function method can thus be employed to calculate all the reducts. Next, we use the DM to quantify the discriminative power of features and design a fuzzy-rank-entropy-based distance measure, which is then employed to group features with similar classification information. At each iteration of DMCD, the most discriminative features carrying distinct classification information are selected from these groups and sequenced. After this procedure, a wrapper technique is applied to derive the optimal feature subset. Finally, experiments on twenty real datasets demonstrate the robustness of the FDNRS model and the effectiveness of the DMCD algorithm.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"513 ","pages":"Article 109384"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143705288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, unlike partitions, coverings may contain redundant elements while still satisfying the covering property, making it crucial to assess whether any redundant elements are present. Nevertheless, the incremental mechanism for the reduct of fuzzy <em>β</em>-covering is still unclear. To address these limitations, we first introduce generalized fuzzy <em>β</em>-neighborhoods and derive the corresponding fuzzy <em>β</em>-covering rough sets, ensuring the inclusion relation between the upper and lower approximations.
