A relative decision entropy-based feature selection approach

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposed a novel heuristic feature selection algorithm in rough sets.

• We presented a new information entropy model – relative decision entropy.

• We proved that relative decision entropy is monotonic with respect to the partial order of partitions.

• We applied our feature selection algorithm to intrusion detection.

• The effectiveness of our algorithm was shown on KDD-99 data set and some other data sets.
