Lower approximation reduction based on discernibility information tree in inconsistent ordered decision information systems (Q2337856)

Summary: Attribute reduction is an important topic in the research of rough set theory, and it has been widely used in many aspects. Reduction based on an identifiable matrix is a common method, but a lot of space is occupied by repetitive and redundant identifiable attribute sets. Therefore, a new method for attribute reduction is proposed, which compresses and stores the identifiable attribute set by a discernibility information tree. In this paper, the discernibility information tree based on a lower approximation identifiable matrix is constructed in an inconsistent decision information system under dominance relations. Then, combining the lower approximation function with the discernibility information tree, a complete algorithm of lower approximation reduction based on the discernibility information tree is established. Finally, the rationality and correctness of this method are verified by an example.
