A relative tolerance relation of rough set with reduct and core approach, and application to incomplete information systems

Data mining concepts and methods can be applied in various fields. Many methods have been proposed and one of those methods is the classical 'rough set theory' which is used to analyze the complete data. However, the Rough Set classical theory cannot overcome the incomplete data. The simplest method for operating an incomplete data is removing unknown objects. Besides, the continuation of Rough Set theory is called tolerance relation which is less convincing decision in terms of approximation. As a result, a similarity relation is proposed to improve the results obtained through a tolerance relation technique. However, when applying the similarity relation, little information will be lost. Therefore, a limited tolerance relation has been introduced. However, little information will also be lost as limited tolerance relation does not take into account the accuracy of the similarity between the two objects. Hence, this study proposed a new method called Relative Tolerance Relation of Rough Set with Reduct and Core (RTRS) which is based on limited tolerance relation that takes into account relative similarity precision between two objects. Several incomplete datasets have been used for data classification and comparison of our approach with existing baseline approaches, such as the Tolerance Relation, Limited Tolerance Relation, and NonSymmetric Similarity Relations approaches are made based on two different scenarios. In the first scenario, the datasets are given the same weighting for all attributes. In the second scenario, each attribute is given a different weighting. Once the classification process is complete, the proposed approach will eliminate redundant attributes to develop an efficient reduce set and formulate the basic attribute specified in the incomplete information system. Several datasets have been tested and the rules generated from the proposes approach give better accuracy. Generally, the findings show that the RTRS method is better compared to the other methods as discussed in this study

Topological and algebraic characterization of coverings sets obtained in rough sets discretization and attribute reduction algorithms

Abstract. A systematic study on approximation operators in covering based rough sets and some relations with relation based rough sets are presented. Two different frameworks of approximation operators in covering based rough sets were unified in a general framework of dual pairs. This work establishes some relationships between the most important generalization of rough set theory: Covering based and relation based rough sets. A structured genetic algorithm to discretize, to find reducts and to select approximation operators for classification problems is presented.Se presenta un estudio sistemático de los diferentes operadores de aproximación en conjuntos aproximados basados en cubrimientos y operadores de aproximación basados en relaciones binarias. Se unifican dos marcos de referencia sobre operadores de aproximación basados en cubrimientos en un único marco de referencia con pares duales. Se establecen algunas relaciones entre operadores de aproximación de dos de las más importantes generalizaciones de la teoría de conjuntos aproximados. Finalmente, se presenta un algoritmo genético estructurado, para discretizar, reducir atributos y seleccionar operadores de aproximación, en problemas de clasificación.Doctorad

Fuzzy Techniques for Decision Making 2018

Zadeh's fuzzy set theory incorporates the impreciseness of data and evaluations, by imputting the degrees by which each object belongs to a set. Its success fostered theories that codify the subjectivity, uncertainty, imprecision, or roughness of the evaluations. Their rationale is to produce new flexible methodologies in order to model a variety of concrete decision problems more realistically. This Special Issue garners contributions addressing novel tools, techniques and methodologies for decision making (inclusive of both individual and group, single- or multi-criteria decision making) in the context of these theories. It contains 38 research articles that contribute to a variety of setups that combine fuzziness, hesitancy, roughness, covering sets, and linguistic approaches. Their ranges vary from fundamental or technical to applied approaches

Fuzzy Mathematics

This book provides a timely overview of topics in fuzzy mathematics. It lays the foundation for further research and applications in a broad range of areas. It contains break-through analysis on how results from the many variations and extensions of fuzzy set theory can be obtained from known results of traditional fuzzy set theory. The book contains not only theoretical results, but a wide range of applications in areas such as decision analysis, optimal allocation in possibilistics and mixed models, pattern classification, credibility measures, algorithms for modeling uncertain data, and numerical methods for solving fuzzy linear systems. The book offers an excellent reference for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in applied and theoretical fuzzy mathematics. Researchers and referees in fuzzy set theory will find the book to be of extreme value
