چکیده

This paper presents a comparative study of concept lattices of fuzzy contexts based on formal concept analysis and rough set theory. It is known that every complete fuzzy lattice can be represented as the concept lattice of a fuzzy context based on formal concept analysis [R. Bělohlávek, Concept lattices and order in fuzzy logic, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 128 (2004) 277–298]. This paper shows that every complete fuzzy lattice can be represented as the concept lattice of a fuzzy context based on rough set theory if and only if the residuated lattice ðL; ;1Þ satisfies the law of double negation. Thus, the expressive power of concept lattices based on rough set theory is weaker than that of concept lattices based on formal concept analysis. 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A Comparative Study of Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory in Data Analysis

The theory of rough sets and formal concept analysis are compared in a common framework based on formal contexts. Different concept lattices can be constructed. Formal concept analysis focuses on concepts that are definable by conjuctions of properties, rough set theory focuses on concepts that are definable by disjunctions of properties. They produce different types of rules summarizing knowle...

Fixed points of adjoint functors enriched in a quantaloid

Representation theorems are established for fixed points of adjoint functors between categories enriched in a small quantaloid. In a very general setting these results set up a common framework for representation theorems of concept lattices in formal concept analysis (FCA) and rough set theory (RST), which not only extend the realm of formal contexts to multi-typed and multi-valued ones, but a...

Reduction method for concept lattices based on rough set theory and its application

Rough set theory and formal concept analysis are two complementary mathematical tools for data analysis. In this paper, we study the reduction of the concept lattices based on rough set theory and propose two kinds of reduction methods for the above concept lattices. First, we present the sufficient and necessary conditions for justifying whether an attribute and an object are dispensable or in...

Approaches to Attribute Reduction in Concept Lattices Based on Rough Set Theory

This paper mainly proposes notions and methods of attribute reduction in concept lattices based on rough set theory. Using dependence space of concept lattices, we first discuss the relationships between congruence relations and the corresponding concept lattices. We then define notions of attribute reduction in a formal context based on congruence relations which is to find the minimal attribu...
