Abstract
Processing attribute reduction plays a key role in the fault diagnosis of incomplete decision information system (IDIS), and it improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault diagnosis. Tolerance relation-based attribute reduction is widely used in the IDIS. However, the fuzziness of relation-based classification always exists in the practical attribute reduction problems of fault diagnosis as the incompleteness and uncertainty of data information, and the traditional tolerance relation-based attribute reduction methods are not suitable for fault diagnosis of IDIS. Therefore, this paper proposes a hybrid hierarchical fault diagnosis method with the combination of tolerance relation-based attribute reduction method and integrated logarithmic fuzzy preference programming (LFPP) based methodology. The method utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data information and constructs the hierarchical structure of fault diagnosis in IDIS. The integrated LFPP based methodology obtains the unique normalized optimal significance priorities vector for attribute fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices simultaneously and directly as the sorting part of proposed method. The tolerance relation-based attribute reduction method decomposes the fault attributes reduction problem into multiple sub-problems, which is the decomposing part of proposed method. Hence, the proposed hybrid method can handle the fuzziness of relation-based classification and mitigate complexity attribute reduction for fault diagnosis of IDIS. Finally, an engineering case for strategy reduction of fault diagnosis is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method and obtain the reduction diagnosis strategies. Another test case is given for verifying the validity of the reduction results and for comparison between the proposed method and other different methods, which shows that the method is indeed efficient and has greater advantages at producing higher accuracy, reducing difficulty and mitigating complexity in fault diagnosis.
