Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to attribute reduction in consistent decision tables within the framework of dependence spaces. For a consistent decision table \((U,A\cup \{d\}),\) an equivalence relation r on the conditional attribute set A and a congruence relation R on the power set of A are constructed, respectively. Two closure operators, T r and T R , and two families of closed sets, \({\mathcal C}_r\) and \({\mathcal C}_R,\) are then constructed with respect to the two equivalence relations. After discussing the properties of \({\mathcal C}_r\) and \({\mathcal C}_R,\) the necessary and sufficient condition for \({\mathcal C}_r={\mathcal C}_R\) is obtained and employed to formulate an approach to attribute reduction in consistent decision tables. It is also proved, under the condition \({\mathcal C}_r={\mathcal C}_R,\) that a relative reduct is equivalent to a \(R\)-reduction defined by Novotny and Pawlak (Fundam Inform 16:275–287, 1992).
