Attribute Reduction Using Bayesian Decision Theoretic Rough Set Models

Bayesian Decision theoretic rough set has been invented by the author. In this paper the attribute reduction by the aid of Bayesian decision theoretic rough set has been studied. Lot of other methods are there for attribute reduction such as Variable precision method, probabilistic approach, Bayesian method, Pawlaks rough set method using Boolean function. But with the help of some example it is shown that Bayesian decision theoretic rough set model gives better result than other method. Lastly an example of HIV /AIDS is taken and attribute reduction is done by this new method and various other method. It is shown that this method gives better result than the previously defined methods. By this method the authors get only the reduced attribute age which is the best significant attribute. Though in Pawlak model age sex or age living status are the reduced attribute and variable precision method fails to work here. In this paper attribute reduction is done by the help of discernibility matrix after determining the positive, boundary and negative region. This model is a hybrid model of Bayesian rough set model and decision theory. So this technique gives better result than Bayesian method and decision theoretic rough set method.
