Highlights • This paper focuses on feature selection process by tolerance-based intuitionistic fuzzy-rough set. • Two hybrid approaches are proposed for classification in the study. • A highly precise and more efficient classification accuracy were obtained. Article Info Abstract The importance of diagnosing breast cancer is one of the most significant issues in medical science. Diagnosing whether the cancer is benign or malignant is extremely essential in ascertaining the type of cure,

This study aims to use the tolerance-based intuitionistic fuzzy-rough set approach to pick attributes and data processing with help of machine learning for the classification of breast cancer. The main purpose of selecting a feature is to make a subset of input variables by removing irrelevant variables or variables that lack predictive information. This study shows how to eliminate redundant data in big data and achieve more efficient results. Rough set theory has already been used successfully to set down attributes, but this theory is insufficient to reduce the properties of a real-value dataset because it will possibly drop knowledge through the decomposition procedure. and this prevents us from getting the right results. In this study, we used the tolerance based intuitive fuzzy rough method for attribute selection. In this technique, lower and upper approaches are used to intuitive fuzzy sets from rough sets to remove uncertainty due to having simultaneous membership, nonmembership, and hesitation degrees and obtain better results. The used method is demonstrated to be better performing in the shape of chosen attributes.
