Software supports continuous economic growth but has risks of uncertainty. In order to improve the risk-assessing accuracy of software project development, this paper proposes an assessment model based on the combination of backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and rough set theory (RST). First, a risk list with 35 risk factors were grouped into six risk categories via the brainstorming method and the original sample data set was constructed according to the initial risk list. Subsequently, an attribute reduction algorithm of the rough set was used to eliminate the redundancy attributes from the original sample dataset. The input factors of the software project risk assessment model could be reduced from thirty-five to twelve by the attribute reduction. Finally, the refined sample data subset was used to train the BPNN and the test sample data subset was used to verify the trained BPNN. The test results showed that the proposed joint model could achieve a better assessment than the model based only on the BPNN.

Decision Cost

In recent years, the theory of decision-theoretic rough set and its applications have been studied, including the attribute reduction problem. However, most researchers only focus on decision cost instead of test cost. In this paper, we study the attribute reduction problem with both types of costs in decision-theoretic rough set models. A new definition of attribute reduct is given, and the attribute reduction is formulated as an optimization problem, which aims to minimize the total cost of classification. Then both backtracking and heuristic algorithms to the new problem are proposed. The algorithms are tested on four UCI (University of California, Irvine) datasets. Experimental results manifest the efficiency and the effectiveness of both algorithms. This study provides a new insight into the attribute reduction problem in decision-theoretic rough set models.

Decision Cost

In traditional cost-sensitive attribute reduction, the variation of decision cost is referred to as a global difference of costs because the considered decision cost is the variation of sum of decision costs over all objects. However, such reduction does not take the variation of decision costs of each object into account. To solve this problem, a local view based cost-sensitive attribute reduction is introduced. Firstly, through considering the variation of decision costs of single object if the used attributes change, a local difference of costs is presented. Secondly, on the basis of the fuzzy decision-theoretic rough set model, a new significance function is given to measure the importance of attribute. Finally, the experimental results illustrate that by comparing the traditional reduction, the proposed local view can decreases both global and local differences of costs effectively on several UCI data sets.

Rough set is mainly concerned with the approximations of objects through an equivalence relation on a universe. Matroid is a generalization of linear algebra and graph theory. Recently, a matroidal structure of rough sets is established and applied to the problem of attribute reduction which is an important application of rough set theory. In this paper, we propose a new matroidal structure of rough sets and call it a parametric matroid. On the one hand, for an equivalence relation on a universe, a parametric set family, with any subset of the universe as its parameter, is defined through the lower approximation operator. This parametric set family is proved to satisfy the independent set axiom of matroids, therefore a matroid is generated, and we call it a parametric matroid of the rough set. Through the lower approximation operator, three equivalent representations of the parametric set family are obtained. Moreover, the parametric matroid of the rough set is proved to be the direct sum of a partition-circuit matroid and a free matroid. On the other hand, partition-circuit matroids are well studied through the lower approximation number, and then we use it to investigate the parametric matroid of the rough set. Several characteristics of the parametric matroid of the rough set, such as independent sets, bases, circuits, the rank function and the closure operator, are expressed by the lower approximation number.

Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) integration modeling based on Rough Set (RS) is studied. An integration modeling algorithm named RS-WNN, which first introduces a heuristic attribute reduction recursion algorithm to determine the optimum decision attributes and then conducts WNN modeling, is proposed. This method is adopted to more effectively eliminate the redundant attributes, lower the structure complexity of WNN, which reduce the time of training and improve the generalization ability of WNN. The result of the experiment shows this method is superior and efficient.
