Abstract

This paper discusses the problems arising in applications of the unified rough and fuzzy rough set approach to analysis of inconsistent information systems. The unified approach constitutes a parameterized generalization of the variable precision rough set model. It bases on a single notion of parameterized ï戮驴-approximation. As a necessary extension, a method suitable for a correct determination of attributes' significance is proposed. In particular, the notions of positive ï戮驴-classification region and ï戮驴-approximation quality are considered. A criterion for reduction of condition attributes is given. Furthermore, a generalized definition of the fuzzy extension ï戮驴is proposed.
