Abstract. New requirements drive the birth of new technologies. Data analysis is the foundation of scientific research, many scientific research is based on data collection and analysis. This paper introduces the basic theory of classical rough set, which is based on the equivalence relation, and uses an upper and lower approximation to represent an imprecise concept. Property reduction is one of the core problems of rough set theory. The heuristic algorithm find attribute reduction is an effective way to solve the problem. On the basis of rough reduction algorithm based on rough set theory, this paper makes a preliminary realization of the problem based on rough set theory, which includes: data discretization, knowledge reduction, rule extraction. The coarsening algorithm based on rough set theory for attribute reduction is essentially a range of attribute values which narrow to wide process.
