Abstract

Reduction is one of the key problem in rough set theory due to its applications in data mining, rule induction, classification, etc.. In this paper the reductions for a set-valued decision information system(DIS) are studied. The judgment theorem and the discernibility matrix of the generalized decision reduct in a set-valued DIS are given, and the relationships among the generalized decision reduct and alternative types of knowledge reduction in set-valued DIS are investigated. It is proved that the reduct in the consistent set-valued DIS is equivalent to the generalized decision reduct, and the possible reduct in the inconsistent set-valued DIS is equivalent to the generalized decision reduct. The judgment theorem and the discernibility matrix associated with the possible reduct are also established.
