Abstract: Attribute reduction is one of the important areas in rough set theory.A minimal set of attributes which preserves a certain classification ability in decision tables is solved through a process of attribute reduction,and the process is to remove the redundant feature attributes and select the useful feature subset.A distribution reduct can preserve the distribution of all decision classes in decision tables,but the reducts of all decision classes may not be necessary in the practice.To solve the above problems,this paper proposed the concept of class-specific distribution preservation reduction based on α-tolerance relations in interval-valued decision systems.Some theorems of class-specific distribution preservation reduction were proved and the relevant discerni-bility matrix of class-specific distribution preservation reduction was constructed.And then this paper proposed class-specific distribution preservation reduction algorithm based on discernibility matrices (CDRDM),and analyzed the relationship between the set of non-empty elements in the discernibility matrices constructed by class-specific distribution preservation reduction algorithm and distribution preservation reduction algorithm (DRDM).In the experiment,six sets of UCI data sets were selected and the interval parameter was introduced.When the interval parameter is 1.2 and threshold is 0.5,the results and average length of reducts in DRDM algorithm and CDRDM algorithm were compared.When the interval parameter is 1.2 and 1.6 and threshold is 0.4 and 0.5 respectively,the changes of reduction time of DRDM algorithm and CDRDM algorithm with the number of objects and attributes were given.Moreover,the experiment indicates that CDRDM algorithm has different results for different decision classes.And when there are more than one decision class in decision tables,the average length of reducts of CDRDM algorithm is less than or equal to the average length of reducts of DRDM algorithm,the reduction efficiency based on different decision classes in CDRDM algorithm is improved in varying degrees.
