Classification of uncertain data with a selection of relevant features based on similarities measures of Interval-Valued Fuzzy Sets

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of selecting the most appropriate attributes for a given classification method with the use of inclusion and similarity measures for interval-valued fuzzy sets. These types of measures with uncertainty were introduced using partial or linear order. The article introduces a modified IV-Relief algorithm using the above-mentioned measures. The theoretical considerations were supported by the analysis of the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm on a well-known dataset on breast cancer diagnostics. The proposed methods make it possible to extend the recognized classification methods so that they operate on uncertain data.
