Feature selection for traditional Malay musical instrument sound classification using rough set

With the growing volume of data and feature (attribute) schemes, feature selection has become a very vital aspect in many data mining tasks including musical instrument sounds classification problem. The purpose of feature selection is to alleviate the effect of the „curse of dimensionality‟. Thi...
