Binary discernibility matrix, as a representative approach, has many interesting superior properties and has been rapidly developed to find intuitive and easy to understand knowledge. However, at present, the binary discernibility matrix is mainly adopted in the complete information system. It is a challenging topic how to achieve the attribute reduction by using binary discernibility matrix in incomplete information system. A form of generalized binary discernibility matrix is further developed for a number of representative extended rough set models that deal with incomplete information systems. Some useful properties and criteria are introduced for judging the attribute core and attribute relative reduction. Thereafter, a new algorithm is formulated which supports attribute core and attribute relative reduction based on the generalized binary discernibility matrix. This algorithm is not only suitable for consistent information systems but also inconsistent information systems. The feasibility of the proposed methods was demonstrated by worked examples and experimental analysis.展开更多

To acquire brief decision rules from the information systems, lower approximation reduction is needed. In this paper, the lower approximation reduction is proposed in inconsistent information systems based on tolerance relation. Moreover, the properties are discussed. Furthermore, judgment theorem and discernibility matrix are obtained, from which an approach to lower reductions can be provided in the complicated information systems.展开更多
