An important task in knowledge discovery is feature selection. This paper describes a practical approach to feature subset selection proposed as part of a hybrid rough sets/neural network framework for knowledge discovery for decision support. In this framework neural networks and rough sets are combined and used cooperatively during the system life cycle. The reason for combining rough sets with neural networks in the proposed framework is twofold. Firstly, rough sets based systems provide domain knowledge expressed in the form of If-then rules as well as tools for data analysis. Secondly, rough sets are used in this framework in the task of feature selection for neural network models. This paper examines the feature selection aspect of the framework. An empirical study that tested the approach on artificial datasets and real-world datasets was carried out. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can improve the performance of neural network models. The framework was also applied in the development of a real-world decision support system. The experience with this application has shown that the approach can support the users in the task of feature selection.

This paper is a systematic review of literature covering the use of decision support systems in the diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis. The authors provide modern literature data on the efficacy of different support systems for decision-making based on artificial neural networks to determine the severity of acute pancreatitis outcomes, prognosis and diagnosis of infected pancreatic necrosis.
