Abstract

Maximal consistent block is a technique for rule acquisition in incomplete information systems. It was first proposed by Yee Leung and Deyu Li in 2001. However, the maximal consistent blocks of an incomplete information system must be computed before they are put into use. In this paper, we introduced several approaches for computing maximal consistent block and their characteristics were further investigated. Each approach’s time complexity is provided as well.
