Formal concept analysis perspectives on three-way conflict analysis

Pawlak conflict analysis focuses on three-valued ratings of a set of agents on a set of issues, in which the three values +, 0, and − indicate, respectively, that an agent is positive, neutral, and negative about an issue.

Popis
Shrnutí:Pawlak conflict analysis focuses on three-valued ratings of a set of agents on a set of issues, in which the three values +, 0, and − indicate, respectively, that an agent is positive, neutral, and negative about an issue. According to their shared ratings, we can form different types of agent coalitions and, similarly, different types of issue bundles (i.e., families of issues to be considered together). The main objective of this paper is to introduce and investigate connections of agent coalitions and issue bundles from Wille formal concept analysis perspectives. By interpreting a three-valued rating table as four different formal contexts, we introduce four types of agent coalitions, namely, support, non-opposition, opposition, and non-support coalitions, the corresponding four types of issue bundles, and four lattices of coalition-bundle couplings. The lattices reveal structural information of agents and issues in a conflict situation. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model, we analyze the problem of development planning of the Gansu Province of China.
