Abstract: An information system as a database that represents relationships between objects and attributes is an important mathematical model in the field of artificial intelligence. Hybrid data means boolean, categorical, real-valued, set-valued data and missing data in this paper. A hybrid information system is an information system where its attribute is hybrid data. This paper proposes a three-way decision method based on hybrid data. First, the distance between two objects based on the conditional attribute set in a given hybrid information system is developed and Gaussian kernel based on this distance is acquired. Then, the fuzzy Tcos-equivalence relation, induced by this information system, is obtained by using Gaussian kernel. Next, the decision-theoretic rough set model in this hybrid information system is presented. Moreover, a three-way decision method is given by means of this decision-theoretic rough set model and inclusion degree between two fuzzy sets. Finally, an example is employed to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method, which may provide an effective method for hybrid data analysis in real applications.
