Abstract
In many practical situations, some of the attribute values for an object may be interval and set-valued. The interval and set-valued information systems have been introduced. According to the semantic relation of attribute values, interval and set-valued information systems can be classified into two categories, disjunctive (type 1) and conjunctive (type 2) systems. This paper mainly focuses on semantic interpretation of type 1. Then, a new fuzzy preference relation for interval and set-valued information systems is defined. Moreover, based on the new fuzzy preference relation, the concepts of fuzzy information entropy, fuzzy rough entropy, fuzzy knowledge granulation and fuzzy granularity measure are studied and relationships between entropy measures and granularity measures are investigated. Finally, an illustrative example to substantiate the theoretical arguments is given. These results may supply a further understanding of the essence of uncertainty in interval and set-valued information systems.
