The key problem for attribute reduction to information systems is how to evaluate the importance of an attribute. The algorithms are challenged by the variety of data forms in information system. Based on rough sets theory we present a new approach to attribute reduction for incomplete information systems and fuzzy valued information systems. In order to evaluate the importance of an attribute effectively, a novel algorithm with rigorous theorem is proposed. Experiments show the effect of proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we point out that Lin’s general neighborhood systems-based rough set model is an extension of Qian’s optimistic rough set model, and thus called optimistic general neighborhood systmes-based rough set model. Then we present a new rough set model based on general neighborhood systems, and prove that it is an extension of Qian’s pessimistic rough set model. Later, we study the basic properties of the proposed pessimistic rough sets, and define the serial, reflexive, symmetric, transitive and Euclidean conditions for general neighborhood systems, and explore the further properties of related rough sets. Furthermore, we apply the pessimistic general neighborhood systems-based rough set model in the research of incomplete information system, and build a three-way decision model based on it. A simple practical example to show the effectiveness of our model is also presented.

Analyzes the traditional methods of extracting decision rules in Rough Sets, defines the concept of the decision dependability and proposes a novel algorithm of extracting short decision rules. Only the length of decision rules is extended when the current decision rules can’t classify all the samples in the decision table. At the same time, three methods are proposed to reduce the computational complexity: 1) defines the concept of bound coefficient, 2) only classify the samples with the same decision values at a time thus averting the time-consuming classification of the equivalence classes with different decision values, 3) defines the Remain set and only classify the samples in the Remain set, so the computational complexity will decrease proportional with the reduction of the samples in the Remain set. Above-mentioned methods can be used directly for incomplete information systems and have great practicability.

Rough set theory is emerging as a powerful tool for reasoning about data, knowledge reduction is one of the important topics in the research on rough set theory. It has been proven that finding the minimal reduct of an information system is a NP-hard problem, so is finding the minimal reduct of an incomplete information system. Main reason of causing NP-hard is combination problem of attributes. In this paper, knowledge reduction is defined from the view of information, a heuristic algorithm based on rough entropy for knowledge reduction is proposed in incomplete information systems, the time complexity of this algorithm is O(|A|2|U|). An illustrative example is provided that shows the application potential of the algorithm.

How to effectively deal with missing values in incomplete information systems (IISs) according to the research target is still a key issue for investigating IISs. If the missing values in IISs are not handled properly, they will destroy the internal connection of data and reduce the efficiency of data usage. In this paper, in order to establish effective methods for filling missing values, we propose a new information system, namely, a fuzzy set-valued information system (FSvIS). By means of the similarity measures of fuzzy sets, we obtain several binary relations in FSvISs, and we investigate the relationship among them. This is a foundation for the researches on FSvISs in terms of rough set approach. Then, we provide an algorithm to fill the missing values in IISs with fuzzy set values. In fact, this algorithm can transform an IIS into an FSvIS. Furthermore, we also construct an algorithm to fill the missing values in IISs with set values (or real values). The effectiveness of these algorithms is analyzed. The results showed that the proposed algorithms achieve higher correct rate than traditional algorithms, and they have good stability. Finally, we discuss the importance of these algorithms for investigating IISs from the viewpoint of rough set theory.

Since the rough sets theory based on the double quantification method was proposed, it has attracted wide attention in decision-making. This paper studies the decision-making approach in Incomplete Ordered Information System (IOIS). Firstly, to better extract the effective information in IOIS, combined with the advantages of set-pair dominance relation and generalized multi-granulation, the generalized multi-granulation set-pair dominance variable precision rough sets (GM-SPD-VPRS) and the generalized multi-granulation set-pair dominance graded rough sets (GM-SPD-GRS) are proposed. Moreover, we discuss their related properties. Secondly, considering the GM-SPD-VPRS and the GM-SPD-GRS describe information from relative view and absolute view, respectively, we further combine the two rough sets to obtain six double-quantitative generalized multi-granulation set-pair dominance rough sets (GM-SPD-RS) models. Among them, the first two models fuse the approximation operators of two rough sets, and investigate the extreme cases of optimistic and pessimistic. The last four models combine the two rough sets by the logical disjunction operator and the logical conjunction operator. Then, we discuss relevant properties and derive the corresponding decision rules. According to the decision rules, an associated algorithm is constructed for one of the models to calculate the rough regions. Finally, we validate the effectiveness of these models with a medical example. The results indicate that the model is effective for dealing with practical problems.
