Abstract: Partially-known formal concept,which was proposed recently,lays the foundation of data analysis of incomplete contexts and also provides the thought of studying on attribute reduction.This paper firstly proposed four kinds of attribute reduction:partially-known formal concept lattice reduction,meet(join)-irreducible elements preserving reduction and partially-known object formal concept preserving reduction.And then,it discussed the relationships among the four kinds of reduction.Finally,it presented the approaches to finding these reduction by discernibility matrices and discernibility functions.

Key words: Incomplete context,Partially-known formal concept,Attribute reduction,Discernibility matrix
