Abstract

We check Kryszkiewicz’s approach for rough sets in data tables containing missing values in terms of Lipski’s approach based on possible world semantics. The relation for indiscernibility of objects used by Kryszkiewicz, which most authors use, derives a pair of lower and upper approximations as the actual approximations to a target set. This means that Kryszkiewicz’s approach is accompanied by information loss because what Lipski’s approach derives is the lower and upper bounds of the actual approximations. It is clarified that Kryszkiewicz’s relation for indiscernibility is equal to the union of possible indiscernibility relations in Lipski’s approach. As a result, the lower and the upper approximation derived from Kryszkiewicz’s relation are equal to the lower bound of the actual lower approximation and the upper bound of the actual upper approximation, respectively. Bridging the gap between the two approaches, we propose another relation for indiscernibility that is equal to the intersection of possible indiscernibility relations. By using Kryszkiewicz’s relation and the proposed relation, Kryszkiewicz’s approach can derive the same approximations as Lipski’s one. Therefore, we can keep using Kryszkiewicz’s approach without information loss.
