7.3.3 Structure-Based Reducts in Variable Precision
Rough Set Models
Before we define structure-based reducts in VPRSM, we firstly introduce Q-reducts.
They preserve the quality of classification with the parameter
ʲ
.
Definition 8 ([ 4 , 5 ]) Let
ʲ ∈[
0
,
0
.
5
)
be an admissible error rate. A Q-reduct with
ʲ
in VPRSM is a minimal condition attribute subset A
C satisfying the following
conditions:
ʳ A (
) = ʳ C (
d
d
),
(VPQ1)
B satisfies (VPQ1)
for all
B
A
.
(VPQ2)
Remark 6 In VPRSM, approximations are no longer monotonic with respect to the
set inclusion of condition attributes. Hence, condition ( VPQ1 ) is not monotonic with
respect to condition attributes, namely, A satisfies ( VPQ1 )but B
A does not. In
that case, we modify the preserving condition of reducts by adding a condition like
( VPQ2 ). We notice that Beynon [ 4 , 5 ] originally proposed Q-reducts (the author
called them
ʲ
-reducts) using only ( VPQ1 ).
We define 4 kinds of structure-based reducts in VPRSM [ 20 ], which are already
discussed in the classical RSM.
Definition 9 ([ 20 , 33 ]) Let
ʲ ∈[
0
,
0
.
5
)
be an admissible error rate.
A P-reduct 2 with
ʲ
in VPRSM is a minimal condition attribute subset A
C
satisfying the following conditions:
POS A (
POS C (
d
) =
d
),
(VPP1)
B satisfies (VPP1)
for all
B
A
.
(VPP2)
An L-reduct with
ʲ
in VPRSM is a minimal condition attribute subset A
C
satisfying the following condition:
LA A (
LA C (
X i ) =
X i )
for all i
V d .
(VPL)
A B-reduct with
ʲ
in VPRSM is a minimal condition attribute subset A
C
satisfying the following conditions:
BN A (
BN C (
X i ) =
X i )
for all i
V d ,
(VPB1)
B satisfies (VPB1)
for all
B
A
.
(VPB2)
2 Strictly speaking, P-reducts do not appear in [ 20 ].
