Zusammenfassung:Rough sets theory has proved to be a useful mathematical tool for classification and prediction. However, as many real‐world problems deal with ordering objects instead of classifying objects, one of the extensions of the classical rough sets approach is the dominance‐based rough sets approach, which is mainly based on substitution of the indiscernibility relation by a dominance relation. In this article, we present a dominance‐based rough sets approach to reasoning in incomplete ordered information systems. The approach shows how to find decision rules directly from an incomplete ordered decision table. We propose a reduction of knowledge that eliminates only that information that is not essential from the point of view of the ordering of objects or decision rules. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
