Computational Intelligence and Feature Selection: Rough and Fuzzy Approaches

Abstract

Computational Intelligence and Feature Selection provides a high level audience with both the background and fundamental ideas behind feature selection with an emphasis on those techniques based on rough and fuzzy sets, including their hybridizations. It introduces set theory, fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, and fuzzy-rough set theory, and illustrates the power and efficacy of the feature selection described through the use of real-world applications and worked examples. Program files implementing major algorithms covered, together with the necessary instructions and datasets, are available on the Web.
