Formal Concept Analysis

  • Chapter
Modeling Multi-Level Systems

Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS,volume 70))

Abstract

Formal concept analysis identifies conceptual structures among data sets. Multi-level modeling potentialities in formal concept analysis are highlighted.

Triadic formal concept analysis is related to Peirce’s categories.

Rough sets approximations and hierarchical class analysis are applied for separation schemes. A tetradic formal concept analysis is presented as general PSM framework.

Case studies refer to separation lattices flow-sheets, drugs mixtures formulation, security for information technology, reliability management systems and failure analysis for printed circuits.
