Abstract
An information system (IS), an important model in the field of artificial intelligence, takes information structure as the basic structure. A fuzzy probabilistic information system (FPIS) is the combination of some fuzzy relations in the same universe that satisfy probability distribution. A FPIS as an IS with fuzzy relations includes three types of uncertainties (i.e., roughness, fuzziness and probability). This paper studies information structures in a FPIS from the perspective of granular computing (GrC). Firstly, two types of information structures in a FPIS are defined by set vectors. Then, equality, dependence and independence between information structures in a FPIS are proposed, and they are depicted by means of the inclusion degree. Next, information distance between information structures in a FPIS is presented. Finally, entropy measurement for a FPIS is investigated based on the proposed information structures. These results may be helpful for understanding the nature of structures and uncertainty in a FPIS.
