The application of the statistical method for calculating the area of the areal object

Abstract

This article introduces a new concept and a new type of modelling – granular information modelling. This modelling is based on the granular computing method and a systematic approach. It is shown that a number of information field objects are comparable to the concept of information granules. The concept of information granules is used in computing technologies. The article develops the concept of information granules as information field objects. The hierarchy of information granules in the information field is shown. The similarity and difference between a cluster and an information granule are shown. The article proposes the interpretation of information granules as a mechanism of information modelling. It also proposes the information modelling method that allows building a structure of granules and relations between them. This method uses a linguistic and set-theoretic approach.
