Minimal Description and Maximal Description in Covering-based Rough Sets
Rough set theory is an important technique in knowledge discovery in databases. In covering-based rough sets, seven types of rough set models were established in recent years. This paper defines the concept of maximal description of an element, and further explores the properties and structures of several types by means of the concepts of maximal description and minimal description. Finally, we study the relationship between covering-based rough sets and the generalized rough sets based on binary relation.
