Rough set theory is an important theory for the uncertain information processing. The information theoretic measures have been introduced into rough set theory and provided a new effective method in uncertainty measurement and attribute reduction. However, most of them did not consider the hierarchical structure of a decision table (D-Table). Thus, this paper concretely constructs three-way weighted combination-entropies based on the D-Table’s three-layer granular structures and Bayes’ theorem from a new perspective, and reveals the granulation monotonicity and systematic relationships of three-way weighted combination-entropies. The relevant conclusion provides a more complete and updated interpretation of granular computing for the uncertainty measurement, and it also establishes a more effective basis for the quantitative application in attribute reduction.
