Knowledge Reduction in Consistent Incomplete Decision Systems Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence

Knowledge reduction is an important issue in knowledge representation and knowledge discovery. This paper deals with knowledge reduction in consistent incomplete decision systems based on Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. We show that, in a consistent incomplete decision system, concepts of both of belief reduct and plausibility reduct are equivalent to the concept of relative reduct.
