Abstract

This chapter presents methods to optimally granulize rough set partition sizes using particle swarm optimization and hill climbing techniques. These two methods are then compared to the equal-width-bin partitioning technique. The results obtained demonstrated that hill climbing provides higher forecasting accuracy, followed by the particle swarm optimization method, which was better than the equal-width-bin technique.
