Abstract
In this paper, we use the notion of equivalence degree of fuzzy data, by which we can mine the rules of fuzzy functional dependencies from the fuzzy relational databases. Following the rules of fuzzy functional dependencies, we can apply the frame of analogical reasoning to refine the imprecise query answer for the relational databases with imprecise information.
