Attribute Reduction Based on Fuzzy Rough Sets

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4585))

Abstract

In T −fuzzy rough sets a fuzzy T −similarity relation is employed to describe the similar degree between two objects and to construct lower and upper approximations for arbitrary fuzzy sets. The existing researches on T −fuzzy rough sets mainly concentrate on constructive and axiomatic approaches of lower and upper approximation operators. In this paper we define attribute reduction based on T −fuzzy rough sets. The structure of proposed attribute reduction is investigated in detail by the approach of discernibility matrix. At last an example is proposed to illustrate our idea in this paper.
