Feature selection plays an important role in reducing irrelevant and redundant features, while retaining the underlying semantics of selected ones. An effective feature selection method is expected to result in a significantly reduced subset of the original features without sacrificing the quality of problem-solving (e.g., classification). In this paper, a non-unique decision measure is proposed that captures the degree of a given feature subset being relevant to different categories. This helps to represent the uncertainty information in the boundary region of a granular model, such as rough sets or fuzzy-rough sets in an efficient manner. Based on this measure, the paper further introduce a differentiation entropy as an evaluator of feature subsets to implement a novel feature selection algorithm. The resulting feature selection method is capable of dealing with either nominal or real-valued data. Experimental results on both benchmark data sets and a real application problem demonstrate that the features selected by the proposed approach outperform those attained by state-of-the-art feature selection techniques, in terms of both the size of feature reduction and the classification accuracy.
