An incremental approach to obtaining attribute reduction for dynamic decision systems

Abstract In the 1960s Professor Hu Guoding proposed a method of measuring information based on the idea that connotation and denotation of a concept satisfies inverse ratio rule. According to this information measure, firstly we put forward the information quantity for information systems and decision systems; then, we discuss the updating mechanism of information quantity for decision systems; finally, we give an attribute reduction algorithm for decision tables with dynamically varying attribute values.
