Rough Set Approach to Incomplete Multiscale Information System

Abstract EN

Multiscale information system is a new knowledge representation system for expressing the knowledge with different levels of granulations.

In this paper, by considering the unknown values, which can be seen everywhere in real world applications, the incomplete multiscale information system is firstly investigated.

The descriptor technique is employed to construct rough sets at different scales for analyzing the hierarchically structured data.

The problem of unravelling decision rules at different scales is also addressed.

Finally, the reduct descriptors are formulated to simplify decision rules, which can be derived from different scales.

Some numerical examples are employed to substantiate the conceptual arguments.
