Binary Relations as a Basis for Rule Induction in Presence of Quantitative Attributes

چکیده
In original rough set theory, the notion of set approximation has been introduced by using indiscernibility relation defined on the set of objects. In some cases, it is necessary to generalize indiscernibility relation by using some other binary relations. In this paper, we consider similarity relations and tolerance relations among objects. These binary relations are defined from some similarity measures at the level of values of any quantitative attribute. The relations defined by single attribute are aggregated into a global relation at the level of the set of attributes. Then, we construct the lower approximation operation and the upper approximation operation generated by a binary relation and its inverse relation. In order to induce the minimal decision rules used to support the decision task, the nonsimilarity matrix of a decision table with respect to the lower approximation and boundary is defined to construct the nonsimilarity functions which are Boolean functions. The set of ‘‘if ... then ...’’ decision rules is decoded from prime implicants of the Boolean functions. An example is illustrated to demonstrate the application of this approach.

Induction of Expressive Rules using the Binary Coding Method
In most rule-induction algorithms, the only operator used against nominal attributes is the equality operator =. In this paper, we first propose the use of the inequality operator, , in addition to the equality operator, to increase the expressiveness of induced rules. Then, we present a new method, Binary Coding, which can be used along with an arbitrary rule-induction algorithm to make use of...

متن کاملA Database Model for Medical Consultation
The database model presented in this paper is suitable for application in which queries may require non-crisp references to certain attributes. The data item (attribute) values may be crisp or fuzzy. For instance, such adjectives as 'high' or 'normal' may be attribute values for the attribute blood pressure. A disease or a condition can be described by a number of symptoms which may be crisp al...
