Abstract: Rule acquisiton in strongly consistent formal decision context is studied by using the idea of concept reduction of keeping the binary relation unchanged in the formal context. According to the concept reduction of decision subcontext, the conditional attribute set induced by concept reduction is defined, and it is proved that it is the attribute consistent set of the strongly consistent formal decision context, so as to simplify the conditional attribute set. The relationship between concept reduction and other concepts is given, and then it is proved that the conditional relation set induced by concept reduction contains all the information of the simplified rule antecedent. The concrete steps of obtaining non-redundant rules for the strongly consistent formal decision context by concept reduction are given.

Key words: formal decision context, concept reduction, rule acquisiton, rule antecedent, conditional attribute set
