A structure optimization method for extended belief-rule-based classification system

作者:

Highlights:

• Summarize the drawbacks of conventional EBRB systems and some existing work concerning attributes processing and rule activation.

• Propose an attribute optimization method to select key attributes and assign attribute weights for EBRB classification system.

• Propose an improved minimum centre distance rule activation method to activate appropriate EBRs for EBRB classification system.

• Experiments show SO-EBRB has good performance on accuracy, activation ratio, response time.
