Abstract

A rule in a Deterministic Information System (DIS) is often defined by an implication τ such that both support(τ) ≥ α and accuracy(τ) ≥ β hold for the threshold values α and β. In the previous work, we focused on the information incompleteness in DISs, and investigated rule generation in Non-deterministic Information Systems (NISs). We also proposed NIS-Apriori algorithm for this rule generation. In this paper, we consider DISs with missing values, which may be known as Incomplete Information Systems (IISs). A rule in a DIS is extended to either a rule in the lower system or a rule in the upper system in each DIS with missing values. NIS-Apriori algorithm is applied to generating such rules.
