Attribute clustering using rough set theory for feature selection in fault severity classification of rotating machinery

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel algorithm is proposed for unsupervised feature selection.

• The algorithm efficacy is evaluated through the accuracy of several classifiers.

• Adequate attributes are effectively selected for several case studies.

• The proposal presents better results than other attribute clustering algorithms.

• The proposal provides similar results to supervised feature selection approaches.
