Abstract

In many fields including medical research, e-business and road transportation, data may vary over time, i.e., new objects and new attributes are added. In this paper, we present a method for dynamically updating approximations based on rough fuzzy sets under the variation of objects and attributes simultaneously in fuzzy decision systems. Firstly, a matrix-based approach is proposed to construct the rough fuzzy approximations on the basis of relation matrix. Then the method for incrementally computing approximations is presented, which involves the partition of the relation matrix and partly changes its element values based the prior matrices’ information. Finally, an illustrative example is employed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
