Attribute reduction is the process of selecting a subset of features from the original set of features that forms patterns in a given dataset. It can be defined as a process to eliminate redundant attributes and at the same time is able to avoid any information loss, so that the selected subset is sufficient to describe the original features. In this paper, we present a great deluge algorithm for attribute reduction in rough set theory (GD-RSAR). Great deluge is a meta-heuristic approach that is less parameter dependent. There are only two parameters needed; the time to “spend” and the expected final solution. The algorithm always accepts improved solutions. The worse solution will be accepted if it is better than the upper boundary value or “level”. GD-RSAR has been tested on the public domain datasets available in UCI. Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that this approach is effective and able to obtain competitive results compared to previous available methods. Possible extensions upon this simple approach are also discussed.
