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. On this basis, a feature selection method with fuzzy <em>β</em>-covering based on relative discernibility relation is proposed, which only calculates the fuzzy positive region in the process of obtaining relative discernibility relation. Furthermore, to investigate incremental mechanisms for reduct of fuzzy <em>β</em>-covering, we develop novel incremental feature selection algorithms for fuzzy <em>β</em>-covering.

By sampling the data with multiple divisions, the knowledge on different granularity levels is obtained, so as to achieve the purpose of multi-granularity data analysis. As a representative model of granular-ball computing, granular ball neighborhood rough set model (GBNRS) offers greater generality and flexibility as it can adaptively generate different neighborhood radii for each object. However, GBNRS consistently sets the purity degree with 1 for all granular-balls, which may lead to poor fault tolerance in uncertain information systems. Additionally, GBNRS lacks effective approximation operators, making it hard to effectively characterize the differences among samples. For these reasons, a new variable-precision rough set model is set forth by combining granular-ball rough sets, fuzzy rough sets and neighborhood rough sets. To this end, a granular-ball fuzzy neighborhood is presented to reflect the similarity of the samples and a pair of variable-precision approximation operators is formulated to improve the noise-tolerant ability. On this basis, a new granular-ball rough set model i.e. fuzzy neighborhood based granular-ball rough sets (FNGBRS) is proposed. Furthermore, a variable-precision dependency function is introduced to evaluate the classification ability of a given feature sets at different granularity levels. The dimensionality reduction of decision systems is carried out under the condition of keeping the classification ability unchanged, and a feature selection algorithm is developed by using the variable-precision dependency function. Numerical experiments on 12 different types of datasets demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms some state-of-the-art feature learning algorithms in terms of classification accuracy and the number of selected features.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55130,"journal":{"name":"Fuzzy Sets and Systems","volume":"512 ","pages":"Article 109382"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143696005","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}
