Abstract:
We argue that the general aim of data mining consists in constructing some simplified compressed description of information. The Function of rival similarity (FRiS-function) is proposed as a new ternary similarity measure between objects instead of a binary one. Quantitative estimation of the compactness of datasets, basing on FRiS-function, allows constructing new more effective compressing algorithms of data mining. Some examples are described of the algorithms testing on real and model tasks.
Keywords:data mining, function of rival similarity, pattern recognition, objects censoring, feature selection.
